For our final installment of Dr. Seuss fun we focused on a couple of my favorite books: One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish, Cat in the Hat, and Cat in the Hat Comes Back.
One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish
After reading the book I had Mikayla put the correct number for fish in each numbered fish bowl. I had planned to have her paint or stamp them, but stickers were easier on this particular day. If you look closely at the picture on the right you will see a glimpse of our Horton made from a toilet paper tube.
Cat in the Hat
We made the obligatory Thing 1 and Thing 2 craft by painting our hands. I still want to play a balancing game with her where she tries to balance objects like Cat in the Hat, but we managed to run out of time again!
Cat in the Hat Comes Back
We made a Cat Hat with the letters of her name. She liked it so much, we had to make hats for some of her princesses out of strips of paper and toilet paper tubes. Pictures are terrible, but you get the idea!
I made some finger puppets today while she was napping, but they did not turn out as planned. The cat is not black because I didn’t have black pipe cleaners. And the noses on Thing 1 and Thing 2 are a little large, but oh well. I still think Mikayla will have fun with them!
I had also planned to do some stuff with The Foot Book, but haven’t gotten around to it yet. If we do, I will post about it later.
