Have I mentioned before how much I love Dr. Seuss? Well if not, I LOVE DR. SEUSS! I think he is an extremely creative writer that engages his reader and his characters are super creative! When I taught Kindergarten we always did a two week Dr. Seuss unit and read as many of his books as we could. Mikayla has always enjoyed Dr. Seuss, which is why we have spent the last two weeks "studying" his books during our Toddler School time. You can read about some of our past activities here, here, here and here. These are just some of the activities that didn’t make it into any of the other posts because they weren’t geared towards any specific book, but just Dr. Seuss as a whole!
I colored a Thing 1 picture, cut into strips, numbered the strips and she had a fun puzzle to work. She really enjoyed this and it was easy, so I think we will be doing more of these in the future!
I placed some Dr. Seuss stickers onto strips of paper and she cut in between the stickers for some fun cutting practice.
Since she LOVES stickers so much I let her take the extra stickers and place on a quick drawing of the words Dr. Seuss and a Cat Hat.
I made a color by number that revealed the Cat’s Hat. She did a great job of coloring the numbers to correct color, but she struggled with coloring in the whole area. Another easy project we can replicate for future activities!
Roll An Action Game. First, I made a dice with six different actions (i.e. clap, hop, etc.) Then, I laid out some Dr. Seuss number flash cards on the floor. She chose one, rolled the action dice and then completed the action the same number of times as her number card. She is still not great with number recognition if anyone has any fun activities.
