Hockey Mom Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Is anyone celebrating, or doing anything special to observe this "holiday"? So far, I'm just planning on reading some of our Dr. Suess books, and playing a Dr. Suess game. I'm currently searching for a craft and a snack to go along with our theme tomorrow. What are you doing? :lurk5: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairProspects Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 We are going to a Dr. Seuss birthday party at a friend's house. We will read a Dr. Seuss story and have birthday cake. Last year we had green eggs and ham, but it grossed people out so we switched to birthday cake :D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritsumei Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Oh, is that tomorrow already?? I guess I'll have to come up with something - Monkey's on a huge Dr. Seuss kick. We've read *at least* one or two of his books Every.Single.Day for quite a while now. Gotta do the birthday! I'm so glad you posted. Not that I have anything useful to add.:tongue_smilie:But thanks!

Guest Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I tried to make my son green eggs a few months back and he freaked out. Maybe we'll just read some books. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockey Mom Posted March 2, 2010 Author Share Posted March 2, 2010 I thought about green eggs and ham, but decided against it. I have trouble getting DS7 to eat as it is...serving him green eggs would do me no favors. LOL Here is how we spent our "Dr. Seuss Day": I started the day by reading, The Cat in the Hat. My boys wore their "Thing 1" and "Thing 2" hats. I had printed out two copies of "My Very Own Dr. Seuss Activity Book" from the Dr. Seuss website, and had the boys do the workbook at their own pace. While they were doing their lessons, I started baking our 'hat cake'. It's not the best tasting cake (white cake, white frosting, red fondant), but the boys thought it was the coolest cake ever. LOL My littlest one (DS5) played a Dr. Seuss matching game while we waited on DS7 to finish his spelling lesson. I had found that game online a long time ago and it was just sitting in one of my 'workbox extras' folders. Here are some pics: Activity book: 15-minute Free Reading Time: Thing 2 plays a Matching Game: The cake: Making the cake: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightly Salted Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 LOVE the cake and the booklet idea, thanks! We used some ideas from Apples4theTeacher to have some fun (*gasp*) worksheet activities during read-alouds this morning, then both kids read some Dr. Seuss books to each other during reading. This evening, we'll probably have Green Eggs and Ham with Daddy! :Big Grin: http://www.apples4theteacher.com/holidays/dr-seuss-birthday/ I may print the activity book as well; my DD would love it!

It never even occurred to me to serve it for dinner (when Big Sister and Daddy would be eating it too)! I may end up serving this for dinner after all. If everyone is eating it, maybe picky eater DS7 will too. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
