How To Draw The Dr. Seuss Hat From Cat In The Hat

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
I love to spend over two weeks in the month of March reading a different Dr. Seuss book to my students each day. After reading the Dr. Seuss book, I have my students complete fun activities that go with it!

I like to begin my unit by talking about who Dr. Seuss was. I go through my "Who Was Dr. Seuss" Anchor Charts that I made!

Here are just some of the Dr. Seuss activities we do after reading each book:

After reading the book Green Eggs and Ham we used these charts to graph our responses to the following questions:

Instead of making actual green eggs and ham I like to make these cookies that look like green eggs and ham. I don't show the cookies to the students until after they answer the anchor chart questions. They always think they will be eating actual green eggs and ham. They are always shocked and excited to see it is a cookie! LOL

I have my students use their picture to make themselves into Thing 1 and Thing 2!

Mr. Cat Comes Back!

I always love to read the Dr. Seuss book: The Cat in the Hat Comes Back the day after reading the original version. Here are some of the different activity pages I have my students complete after we read the book...

Activity 1: Comparing the two stories using a Venn Diagram

Activity 2: Writing Prompt: How would you remove the ring from the bathtub?

Activity 3: Comprehension Crossword Puzzle

The Foot Book is one of my favorite Dr. Seuss books! There are so many great lessons and activities you can pair with this book! After reading The Foot Book to my students we cover antonyms, adjectives, non-standard/standard measurement, skip counting, etc!

Here is a look into some of the fun activities we do...

I like to teach a quick mini lesson on what antonyms are. We use the brain storm chart together as a class to think of words that are antonyms. I have the students complete the Antonym Foot Match worksheet as a quick assessment.

For a fun antonym activity, I give each student a pair of feet with one word written on a foot. They have to think of the antonym to that word and write it on the other foot. Finally, they illustrate what each word means.

I display the antonym feet on a large foot that I make out of butcher paper on my classroom door!

I like to place these activity at my literacy centers...

For this activity, the students match the pair of antonym feet!

Here the students sort each flip flop depending on if it goes on the left or right foot.

I also like to review adjectives with my students using The Foot Book. I like to slip in a quick review lesson on adjectives anytime I can since they can be so difficult for some first graders to understand!

Here we review what an adjective is and brain storm adjectives that describe feet. We fill in the foot chart together as a class. Finally, I divide my students into small groups and give each group a copy of The Foot Book. They work together to find adjectives in the book. They record their answers on the worksheet.

For a fun non-standard measurement activity I have each student trace and cut out their foot. They measure their foot using cubes, paper clips, and pennies. They record their answers on their worksheet!

This is another great non-standard measurement activity. I place long strips of masking tape on the floor of my classroom. The students use their feet to measure the length of each line and record it on their worksheet. After everyone is finished we discuss what answers each student got and why everyone got different answers.

Here is an example of a tape strip on the floor for the students to measure.

After we discuss why everyone got different answers we then discuss the actual foot measurement on a ruler. I pass out a ruler to each student and they work together to measure each tape strip in actual feet for the second time around. When everyone is finished we share our answers and discuss why everyone got the same answers now.

Here are some skip counting worksheets I like to place at my math centers.

After reading the book, Fox in Socks we talk about what Synonyms are. The students write a pair of synonyms on their pair of socks and illustrate what the words mean.

After reading the book, The Lorax we go through these story element Truffula Trees as a class! Then, each student makes a poster on how they can take care of the Earth.

The Dr. Seuss book, One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish has so many great activities I like to pair it with...especially math activities!

Here is a look into some of the fun activities we do with this book...

After reading the book to the students we discuss/review what an antonym is. I reread the book to the students as they point out the antonyms they hear in the story. We add the words on our T-chart.

I place this Fishing for Antonyms activity at one of my literacy centers. My students LOVE this antonym center activity! The fishing rod has a magnet on the end of it and the fish have brads in their eyes. The students use the fishing rod to "fish" for words that are antonyms!

I have my students complete this antonym worksheet as a quick assessment on what they know.

Here are two other literacy center activities I place at my centers during the week.

For this activity the students play "Go Fish" for rhyming words.

Here the students sort the fish depending on if they have a real or non-sense word written on them.

I use Goldfish crackers for a lot of my activities. I place the Goldfish in snack sized Ziploc bags and staple the bag toppers on!

My students complete different graphing activities with the Goldfish crackers. We learn and practice with Tally Graphs, Bar Graphs, and Picture Graphs!

Each graphing activity just takes 10 Goldfish crackers!

Class Survey Graphing Activity:

For this graphing activity the students get to taste a Goldfish cracker and a Swedish Fish. Then, the students go around and ask each classmate which snack they liked better. They tally the results and graph the data on a bar graph.

I set up two different estimation jars. One jar is filled with Goldfish crackers and the other is filled with Swedish Fish. The students guess how many fish are in each jar. The student that gets closest to the answer gets to have the snack to take home.

Here is another estimation activity we do with Goldfish crackers.

Not only do we use Goldfish crackers to graph...we also use them as a non-standard measurement tool.

My students love making a fish out of their own hand. They use different measurement tools to measure the length of their hand/fish.

Goldfish crackers are perfect for making patterns with too! :)

For this fraction activity the students get ten Goldfish crackers. They write the fraction for each color.

Here are some additional math activities:

After reading the Dr. Seuss book, Horton Hears a Who! we discuss a couple character traits that Horton has. We fill in the chart together by listing the trait and the evidence in the story that made us think Horton had that trait. I also have my students complete the character trait bubble worksheet on their own.

As a class, we also answer the Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How Questions about the story on the newspaper anchor chart.

Finally, the students get to make these super cute crafts!

For this craft and writing prompt the students pretend they are a Who and write what they would say to Horton in the speech bubble.

For this craft and writing prompt the students fill in their name and a silly name of something they hear on their clover and write about it!

I also have my students complete the following Venn Diagrams.

After reading the Dr. Seuss book: Oh, the Places You'll Go! I have my students create a hot air balloon and suitcase craft. Each one has a writing prompt that the students answer and attach to their craft.

For the hot air balloon craft the students pick one of the following writing prompts to write about....

Prompt #1: If I could go anywhere, I would want to go to...
Prompt #2: If I could be anything when I grow up, I would want to be a...

Underneath the hot air balloon is the student's writing.

Using silly student pictures would be super cute!

For the luggage craft, the students pick one of the following writing prompts to write about....

Prompt #1: Where I want to go...Why I want to go there...What I'm bringing with me...

Prompt #2: Who I want to meet...Why I want to meet them...What I would bring them...

The suitcase has a luggage tag with the student's name on it.

The writing prompts are glued inside the suitcase!

The Alphabet Book Activities

After reading Dr. Seuss's ABC Book to my students, I have them complete the following activities...
Parts of Speech Word Search

For this activity, the students look for nouns, verbs, adjectives, and Dr. Seuss's original words in the ABC Book.

I assign each student a letter. They think of a word that starts with that letter and fill in their page. Each student shares their page with the class as we add it to our class book!

A through Z Scavenger Hunt

The students walk around the classroom to find items that start with each letter of the alphabet. They write the word on their recording page. I always like to make this a challenge with my students. We like to see who can find the most words!

I place this worksheet at a literacy center. The students think of their own letter and words to complete their page.

The students also complete this letter match activity at their center.

Then, I have my students create their own silly creature. They add

Instead of using a pocket...here the girls in my class create a creature, name it, and add it to their locket. The boys in my class do the same, but for a rocket!

For this activity I have my students create a creature and add it to an object of their choice. Then, they give their creature a name that rhymes with the object they placed it in.

(Small Version)

This activity is so much fun for the students! They secretly draw an object and add it to their pocket. Then, they write three clues. Each student will read their three clues to the class and see if their classmates can guess their object! (I created a small version of this craft to make it a 1 page craft.)

I have my students create a class rhyming book. For this activity I give each student their own page. Each student creates a creature and completes their rhyming riddle. Each student shares their page with the class.

I like to place these fun pocket sorts in my literacy centers for the week!

Long/Short Vowel Word Sort

Real Word/ Nonsense Word Sort

Rhyme/Don't Rhyme Word Sort

Click HERE to download these activities!

MOO! MOO! Onomatopoeia Activities for YOU!

The Dr. Seuss book: Mr. Brown Can Moo! Can You? is filled with lots of different onomatopoeias. I use this book as a fun way to teach a mini lesson on what an onomatopoeia is and to also review what a noun, verb, and adjective is.

Before reading the book I teach a quick mini lesson on what an onomatopoeia is.

After reading the book, I have the students give me some of the examples of the onomatopoeias they heard in the book. I list all their examples on our Brain Storm T-Chart.

Then, as a class we complete the puzzle by matching the different sounds with what makes the sound.

We then create an onomatopoeia class book where each student completes the writing prompt:

I have each student share their page when they are done and we add it to our class book!

Finally, we review the different parts of speech and sort the words on each hat.

I have each student complete this worksheet independently at their desk.

Here is another chart I've made to review the different parts of speech.

To end our fun week of Dr. Seuss activities we eat these yummy hat cookies! I made the hat cookie cutter out of a large metal can. The can was shaped and the edges were sanded to make the hat cookie cutter!

Dr. Seuss Week

This week was quite an adventure with my daughter in Kindergarten. I don't think I've seen her more excited about going to school than the first week of school. She was up early every morning and getting her clothes on as quick as she could. Which to be honest isn't exactly the way she is every day.

So I had to stop and reflect on why were things so different this week and how can we encourage it all the time with our children and their interest in school and learning. I think the biggest key way she knew with great anticipation what was going to happen during the day and during the week.
This post contains affiliate links to Amazon.
The Kindergarten Team at her school created a fantastic lesson plan of events all related to Dr. Seuss. She knew that there would be adventure and creativity in her day, something that every classroom should contain through some element each day.
Grab your own Cat in the Hat Costume here for your Fun Filled Week!
How do you incorporate these ideas into classrooms all the time?

Here's what our week looked like with Dr. SEUSS

We even had an After School Play Date with friends about Dr. Seuss. We read stories together, made a Cat in the Hat and Playing a Game and had a Dr. Seuss snack! She also created her own Dr. Seuss stories at home with her special Truffula Pencil.

I think most importantly we were able to follow things up at home because we knew what was going on in the classroom each day and it created a different way of talking about things. I was able to get more details from her because I knew the framework of each day. Several Parents even got involved in helping with crafts, reading and snacks.

As a Mom and as a former teacher, I encourage teachers to write weekly newsletters to build that bridge of communication between home and school. Even if it's a simple paragraph you put up on a website telling families what the week will look like or the goals of the week.

Parents are a child's first teacher and they can help in so many ways if teachers open those moments of learning opportunities with them.

We've shared lots of resources this week for Dr. Seuss but here are a few more!

Spending a week with an author can make your child's learning more meaningful and fun!

11. Cat in the Hat Foldable - Use this foldable for any great lesson plan you want to connect with Dr. Seuss books. This is a great way to bring out Dr. Seuss books in the older grades.

12. Scrambled Sentences - Have students unscramble the sentences using the Dr. Seuss themed word cards to build and re-arrange words in the sentence. Then have them record the sentence.

13. Green Eggs and Ham - Use magazines to help make illustrations for a class book that is hilarious! Sam-I-Am will be proud of the great rhyming it encourages from primary students. Here's an alternative rhyming book for kindergarten based on There's a Wocket in My Pocket.

Today, I'm so excited to share my Dr. Seuss Cut it Out! Pack. If you're new to my Cut it Out! Packs, you will find four levels of cutting: 1- straight lines, 2- curvy lines, 3- zig-zag lines, and 4- shapes; perfect for preschoolers just beginning to learn to cut as well as those older preschoolers who need an extra fun challenge. Each level not only practices cutting, but there are suggestions for extending the activities so that you don't just end up with a pile of cut up paper when your child cuts. 🙂 And don't forget that using those scissors is such a fun way to strengthen those fine motor muscles used for writing!

The pictures chosen from this pack go with four of Dr. Seuss' well-known books, perfect for Dr. Seuss' upcoming birthday {March 2nd}!

MBug {3.5 years old} uses her Maped Scissors {which I highly recommend for beginners} and cuts on the straight lines to make puzzles. Then, she matches them back up and glues them down to paper. She likes me to display them on the wall after she's finished.

Level 4 in this pack is super fun and I'm rather proud of it {as it took me about 2 hours to make it!}. This time, all three older kiddos wanted to work on the shapes level at the same time. I was surprised how well MBug stuck with it.

They cut out the shapes,

glued the shapes down to the hat template {I cut the template out ahead of time}, and colored their own hats. I encouraged them to color with a pattern, like the cat's hat, but MBug and NJoy did their own thing. 🙂

They cut out and attached their cat ears, from the last page of the pack, and I attached {with tape} the strips of paper to make a head band.

Then everyone wore their hats in fashion show. We really had a blast!

One of our favorite Dr. Seuss books is One Fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish. It's such a silly book, but that's probably why my oldest likes it!

Since we focus on fine motor skills on Thursdays, I came up with an activity with tweezers & goldfish to go along with this book. It's designed to strengthen fine motor skills and to help with counting and one-to-one correspondence. I created this Fine Motor Fish sheet to go along with the activity. The goal is to take tweezers, pick up a goldfish, and put it in the fishbowl. They also have to match the number of goldfish to the number on the fishbowl.

I recently picked up two kinds of tweezers at The Learning Post. The Easy Grip Tweezers
are designed for kids to use. They are a bit rigid, so it takes some strength from your child's hand and it may take time for them to get the hang of using these tweezers. The skunk tweezers are fun and cute. They are a little easier to use, in my opinion.

Before starting, we reviewed over the numbers and directions with Troy.

He was a bit silly when we did the activity. I always find that if I do activities at night, they don't go as well. He's definitely not as focused as he is when we do activities in the morning. Good reminder for me!

Since using tweezers is new to him, he got tired fast. Eventually, he just used his fingers to put the goldfish in the fishbowl.

This is good practice for counting and one-to-one correspondence (matching numbers to objects). It seems easy to do, but for a 3 year old it does take some thinking. When we got to numbers 5 and 6, he had to really take time and count them. Eventually, he will start to recognize what 5 and 6 look like without counting each one, but it does take practice.

Overall, it was a fun activity and challenging for Troy. We will practice using the tweezers more often to gain more strength in his hand. To download a printable, click here.

Have you used kid tweezers with your children? Please share if you have!

Make your Thing 1's body, by cutting a red triangle and slotting it into your bookmark and gluing in place.

Draw a white circle (use a coin or the lid of your pritt stick to help you if you need).. and use a black marker pen to add black outlines - they can look quite "rough" to copy the hand drawn style of Dr. Seuss

Draw on your Thing 1 and your Thing 2's face. Use a Dr. Seuss book to guide you into the key characteristics of your Things. Small eyes, with a big smile and a small oval nose. Little but fat eyebrows.

Would you rather be a frog or a butterfly? My kids love a good would you rather game. They are great conversation starters and the perfect after dinner game for the family. We always love the questions that are full of silly options. Print out our Dr. Seuss inspired Would You Rather game cards and have a fun time with your family. I get commissions for purchases made through the affiliate links in this post.

Would You Rather Be a Bullfrog? by Dr. Seuss

In Would You Rather Be a Bullfrog?, Dr. Seuss poses a series of crazy questions to the reader. He starts off simply by asking if you'd rather be a cat or a dog. Then, he moves on to more odd pairs like soda and stinky cheese. What kind of choice is that? This book is sure to get your imagination moving as you think about what it would be like to be a drum or a butterfly. The book is full of crazy combinations that will make everyone laugh. It's the inspiration behind our game cards.

Dr. Seuss Inspired Would You Rather Game

Our Dr. Seuss inspired Would You Rather Game is based on many of the questions Dr. Seuss poses in the Would You Rather Be a Bullfrog? book. I only included two choices on each card - where sometimes Dr. Seuss gives three. I also only chose real objects and characters where Dr. Seuss includes a few fantastical ones.

How to play: Draw a card and read it aloud. Make a decision. Which would you rather be? Talk about why. Everyone else can tell what they would choose, or each person can choose a different card. Keep playing until you go through all of the cards. Can you make up your own odd pairings?

Download the Dr. Seuss Inspired Would You Rather Game for your personal or classroom use. (Non-commercial use only.) The PDF includes 2 pages with 20 cards - 4 of them are blank so you can create your own questions.

In honor of Dr. Suess Day, we made this cute Lorax toilet paper roll craft! It was pretty easy to make it just required a lot of cutting. It would be a great idea to incorporate this art project into a Dr. Suess lesson or after you watch the movie!

You will need orange/yellow/white/pink construction paper, a toilet paper roll, scissors, glue, and a green/black marker.

Start by cutting about ⅓ off the toilet paper roll because the Lorax is pretty short! ;)

Glue a piece of orange construction paper around the tube and cut out all these little pieces (eyebrows, mustache, eyes) we did NOT use that orange nose but you surely can!

Cut out an orange circle and glue all the facial features on it. (It's easier to stick rather than putting it directly on the toilet roll)

Cut out two orange arms.

Glue the circle face onto the top of the TP roll, glue the arms onto the side, and make your own truffula tree for the Lorax to hold. How cute is he?!

Hooray for Dr. Seuss! With Read Across America coming up soon, we took the opportunity to try out this fun and easy Dr Seuss STEM challenge. Inspired by The Cat In The Hat, I put together a simple STEM activity to stack the cat's hat. Join the challenge and find out how tall you can stack your hat!

CAT IN THE HAT CUP STACKING GAME

FUN WITH DR SEUSS

There are so many fun ways to pair your favorite, classic Dr. Seuss books with cool STEM and science activities. Take a look at any of our Dr Seuss science activities to find a few ideas to try for Dr. Seuss' birthday this year. Of course, Dr. Seuss is in style all year round!

Our STEM activities are designed with you, the parent or teacher, in mind. Easy to set up, quick to do, most activities will take only 15 to 30 minutes to complete and are heaps of fun! Plus, our supplies lists usually contain only free or cheap materials you can source from home.

Turn a classic cup stacking game into a Dr Seuss STEM challenge inspired by the book, The Cat In The Hat. Everyone knows about the cat's hat!

Can you stack the cat's hat with just cups and paper?

DR SEUSS CUP STACKING CHALLENGE

How tall can you make the cat's hat? Take the Dr. Seuss STEM challenge and find out!

YOU WILL NEED:

DR SEUSS STEM CHALLENGE SET UP

STEP 1. Prep for this activity by cutting squares of paper appropriate to the size of the cups you will be using. We used two very different size cups, so I cut two different size squares of paper in red and white.

STEP 2. Set out the stack of cups and the paper squares. Invite your kids to stack the cat's hat!

Make sure to read The Cat In The Hat book together too! Dr Seuss STEM and literacy in one easy and fun activity!

THE RESULTS

At first, my son just tried to stack the cups in various ways, but nothing really worked out for him. I suggested he test out the other supply that was set out for the activity, the paper.

After a few tries, he got it. This is fun for multiple ages!

Try not to jump in too quickly with the solution. Trial and error is a wonderful learning experience for young kids and a valuable lesson to learn for later.

What else can you find to stack the cat's hat?

WHAT'S THE SEUSS SCIENCE?

Why do we use the paper squares for this Dr Seuss cup stacking challenge? The paper squares create a stable base to help disperse the weight of the cups.

To some extent, gravity helps to keep the tower up if the weight is properly distributed! What happens when it gets top heavy? Gravity can also make the tower topple over. We got to see both in action quite a few times.

Are the bigger cups easier than the smaller cups? Can you build a tower with just cups? Measure the height of your "hat".

Last week, Wes and I started doing preschool at home. The letter we started learning about is 'A' and we are doing lots of activities with apples. One of my favorite apple books is Ten Apples Up on Top by Dr. Seuss. I was inspired to do this activity after reading this idea from Buggy and Buddy. We put our own twist on the activity and it was a lot of fun!

In this book, there is a lot of counting. The characters in the story are adding apples to the top of their head throughout the story. At the end, everyone has ten apples on top of their head! We did this activity after reading the book so that my preschooler could practice counting to 10. I also wanted him to have practice recognizing numbers and putting them in order.

To prepare for this activity, I cut out 10 apples from red felt. Then I cut out numbers from green felt. I hot glued them together and added a small green stem to the top. Pretty simple!

Then I printed off a picture of my boys, cut them out and glued them to a small piece of felt. That way they could stick to the felt board for the activity. I used the felt board that I shared how to make on this post.

When we did the activity, I mixed up the apples and had my son find the apple with 1 on it and place it on his head. Then we continued with 2, 3, 4, and so on. When he got stuck on remembering the next number, we went back and counted starting from 1.

I had my older preschooler try this activity out and it was very easy for him. It was fun to see the difference between the two.

I noticed this was a harder task for my 3.1 year old, so we will continue to do this activity frequently until he can master it!

Did you know? In the mid-1950s, Dr. Seuss' editor challenged him to write a story that first graders couldn't put down using only the words on a teacher-approved limited vocabulary list. Today, educators and families still use Dr. Seuss books to support beginning readers. Take a peek at the Dr. Seuss activities below for some fun ideas for using Dr. Seuss books in your classroom!

Plus, check out this brand-new guide and Readers Theater script from our friends at Random House Children's books for even more ways to use Dr. Seuss books to teach phonics.

Inside the guide, you'll find ideas for teaching:

Rhyme, Alliteration, and Assonance

Phonological Awareness

Syllables

Alphabetic Principle

Sight Words

Onset, Rime, and the Silent E

Fluency

Suffixes, Prefixes, and Root Words

Source: Obseussed

Practice finding and putting together rhyming eggs from the story. There are two versions of this lesson. You can use green colored paper or plastic Easter eggs.

Students will enjoy comparing their birthday facts and traditions with Dr. Seuss.

Source: First Grade Is a Hoot

Kids can create their own Thing 1 or Thing 2 by using two different colors of paint and their own handprints. Attach a label to the Thing's belly and allow it to dry. Cut out and attach the Thing to a large sheet of construction paper. For the writing, have students brainstorm what they would do if the Things came to visit them at their house. Go through the writing and editing process with them. Attach their final copies to a large piece of construction paper and display them proudly.

4. Keep track of all of the books you've read

Get your free Dr. Seuss-themed reading tracker from Random House Children's Books, and your class can keep track of the books they read in 2023, including their ratings on a five-star scale. What a fun way to remember their favorite reads!

Then find the related rhyming words:

This free printable encourages students to practice ending rhyming sounds from the book Fox in Socks. It's just one of the Dr. Seuss activities in this free guide from Random House Children's Books.

Then, float away with a hot-air-balloon story.

Source: The Tenacious Teacher

Hopefully after reading this story, your students will be very inspired and motivated! Capture this feeling with a writing activity in which they can express their hopes for the future. Create the adorable hot-air-balloon display by tracing the template onto colored paper, attaching string. Most fun of all, take and develop photos of your students posing as if they are holding a giant string. Put it all together and display your airborne kids all around the room or on your classroom door!

Source: The Teaching Bug

Using this template, give students time to create their own Lorax mini-poster. Then give them the following prompt: If I were the Lorax, this is how I would help our Earth. ... You may want to have a group discussion first to chart ideas or have them work with a partner or small group. Lead them through the writing and editing process. Finally, display their final pieces-maybe with a giant Truffula tree in the middle! This is also a great activity to do for Earth Day.

8. Read The Sneetches and Other Stories

Then, talk about Dr. Seuss' use of inventive language.

Dr. Seuss invented many fun words in his stories, from "wocket" to "trumtookas." Talk with students about what some of these silly words mean and what they add to the story. Then encourage them to search for Seuss' made-up words from The Sneetches in this free word search.

Inside: Your young reader will love this Percy Jackson Word Search inspired by the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series! Sponsored by Disney Book Group.
Our Summer with Percy Jackson & the Olympians

At the start of the summer, we teamed up with Disney Book Group for a fun reading challenge. They shipped our oldest daughter a collector's set of the Percy Jackson & the Olympians book series with the goal to read them all by summer's end.

Not only did my daughter finish the entire series - she read each book twice! I think that speaks volumes (see what I did there?) about any book when a kid will go back to it time and time again.

Curious, I asked which book in the series is her favorite and my daughter responded incredulously, "I have to pick ONE favorite?!"

When I asked my daughter what it is about Percy Jackson that she especially liked she explained that even though the story is complex, the books are easy to read. That way she doesn't have to slow down and ask us for any clarification on vocabulary words and such when she's wrapped up in the story!

Who is Percy Jackson?

If you're not yet familiar with the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series, it is the saga of teenage demigod Percy Jackson. When Percy finds out that he is actually the son of Poseidon (yep, the same Poseidon from Greek mythology) his life takes an unexpected turn. Percy must learn to harness his newfound powers, rescue his mother, and prevent a battle that could destroy the earth.

Our daughter is such a fan that after she read the entire Percy Jackson & the Olympian series (twice), she started reading another series by author Rick Riordan - The Heroes of Olympus, which is the follow-up to Percy Jackson.

If your teen or tween is fascinated by mythology or fantasy adventure stories, I highly recommend that you head over to ReadRiordan.com to check out all of the other books too! The fun doesn't have to stop when Percy Jackson & the Olympians ends!

Psst- If you pop over to ReadRiordan.com they've announced that the Percy Jackson & the Olympians The Last Olympian graphic novel will be released on August 13, 2019!

Download Your Free Percy Jackson Word Search Printable Activity

You might be wondering how my daughter had time to read an entire book series more than once in just a few weeks. Well, she reads fast - sometimes so fast that she forgets parts. I think she just gets so excited that she wants to read as fast as possible to see what happens next. I'm definitely guilty of that when I read too!

That's why I love to have companion activities on hand when possible to help make sure that we remember what we read. Plus they're fun!

One of my daughter's favorite activities are word searches. Actually, my five-year-old is really starting to get into word searches too, though she still needs a bit of assistance.

We created this Percy Jackson word search as a summer boredom buster and companion activity for the book series. It's packed full of words that a true Percy Jackson & the Olympians fan will recognize!

A little background: Percy struggles with dyslexia, which he learns is because his brain is hard-wired to understand ancient Greek instead of modern English. In fact, Rick Riordan dreamed up the entire Percy Jackson epic after learning of his own son's diagnosis of ADHD and dyslexia - as a way to encourage other kids dealing with similar learning disabilities.

With our word search, we've also included a second page with Percy Jackson word search answers! There are even a few bonus words included for super word sleuths to find!

Looking for a fun way to celebrate Read Across America Day? Then you'll love these free printable Dr Seuss hats that featuring The Lorax, Thing 1 & Thing 2, and Horton from Horton Hears A Who.

On March 2nd, kids across the United States will celebrate Dr. Seuss's birthday and National Read Across America Day.

I love how schools get young kids excited about reading by doing fun activities and having a party for Dr. Seuss. It brings the same excitement for birthday parties and merges it with literacy and learning.

To go along with that spirit, I created these free printable Dr. Seuss headbands to go along with the celebration! They're another addition to our Dr. Suess crafts for kids!

Dr. Seuss Hats Printable

The goal when I created these Dr. Seuss character headbands was simply to bring a smile to kids' faces and have them become passionate about reading (or being read to!).

My son began learning how to read just a short while ago, and it's amazing seeing the transformation that it brings to his life.

He reads books all the time, he can't wait to go to the library and now we can't spell d-e-s-s-e-r-t in our house because he knows what we're talking about!

I hope these hats also bring excitement for reading into your home or classroom.

And come on, just look at how cute the Lorax is. What kid wouldn't want to wear that headband?!

Dr. Seuss Template Notes

Inside the free printable template, we've included two options.

Originally, we only had the full-color versions available. We imagined parents and teachers would simply print them out, cut and assemble so the kids could wear them on Dr. Seuss Day.

But, as time went on we received more and more requests to have them in black and white. That wasn't something we thought of, but it was a great idea!

Now, we have a black and white version as well so kids can color in the headbands and you can save your ink.

Whichever way you decide to print them out, we're sure the kids will love them. Don't forget to enter your email in the form at the end of this page to get your free copy!

Fox In Socks Craft Notes

When we were making this Dr. Seuss craft, we wanted to make it look as close to the original character as possible.

That meant we needed to make the fox have jagged fur, like in the book. We did this, and love the way it turned out!

But, the one downside was that it meant more detailed cutting which may be difficult for younger children.

Once the template is completely cut out, the rest of the craft is easy peasy. It's just a few pieces to glue together.

We'd recommend cutting out all the pieces ahead of time if you're doing this craft with little kids. I always sit down at night after the kids are sleeping, and cut out template pieces while watching a show or something so it never seems long or tedious.

If you're doing this craft and want the kids to cut out the template pieces, be sure to add more time to the prep phase. We would estimate this cutting for ages 8 and up.
