We have continued our Dr. Seuss study this week with a few more popular titles: Horton Hears a Who, Horton Hatches An Egg, Hop On Pop and There’s a Wocket in My Pocket. Here are our activities:
Horton Hears a Who
We began by reading the book and then making a clover with a speck. She is still playing with the clover and is amazed the speck never falls off! I didn’t have any glitter this year which I usually use for my speck, so I just put a drop of hot glue and it works great (even easier than the glitter). Then we grabbed Horton and watched the movie. Please note that my daughters choice of snacks for the movie watching were plain noodles. Too funny!
Horton Hatches An Egg
She was a little disappointed after this reading, because there wasn’t a movie to watch. She thought there should be! We settled for making a Horton character out of a painted toilet paper tube and some foam. I did not manage to get a picture of this, but I promise it was cute!
Hop On Pop
We read the book and then got out some bubble wrap for her to Hop on Pop(s). She had a blast and kept popping for several minutes!
There’s a Wocket In My Pocket
This was a last minute addition to our study because we found it for pretty cheap in Jo-burg last weekend. We read the book and then played a game. To play I put six items on a cookie sheet. Then I had her close her eyes and removed one object to put in my pocket. When she opened her eyes she had to guess which object was missing. She did great at this game and we played several times back and forth. Eventually she even started adding more items while my eyes were closed…clever girl!
I have just a few more activities up my sleeves so stay tuned!
