Dr Seuss Kid Craft Roundup

Hi my crafty friends! Fun fact for you today – did you know that Dr Seuss’s birthday is coming up on March 2nd?

Yup, and every year in celebration of the amazing children’s book author, everyone gets together to celebrate Read Across America Day. It’s a HUGE nationwide reading event and it is a good excuse to wipe the dust off your books and get lost in the stories!

Across the country, thousands of schools, libraries, and community centers participate by bringing together kids, teens, and even adults, to honor Dr Seuss’s legacy. I’ve been in-cooperating several different Dr Seuss themed kid crafts on the blog lately, so I wanted to do a last minute roundup just in case you missed any of them and/or needed some inspiration for some crafts to do in honor of the special day {cause with an event like this – a good craft is in order!}

All these crafts and activities are super simple and perfect to celebrate reading with young people. All of which can be found right here on Glued To My Crafts!

So click around our Dr Seuss themed roundup below to get inspired and celebrate the grand birthday in style!!! {this roundup has grown from the initial TEN in this 2015 roundup. Hopefully you find tons of inspiration because of it!}

Happy crafting {and reading} my friends! Don’t forget to grab some fun Dr Seuss books and celebrate the big day on March 2nd! We also love seeing those pictures, so be sure to share them with us using the hashtag #gluedtomycrafts on your various social media sites!

Here’s one more idea that is perfect to celebrate Dr. Seuss – Terra Cotta Pot Lorax. Just paint a plain terra cotta pot completely orange and add cardstock features to give him life!

A popsicle stick craft that goes along with famous Dr Seuss book “Fox With Socks.” Just glue popsicle sticks together to look like socks and have children decorate them however they like!

Very similar to our Handprint 1 & 2 Puppets post – this idea uses a blue handprint with glitter as their hair!

Everyone seems to focus on Cat in the Hat and Thing 1 & 2 but what about the fish in the bowl? You can easily take our Paper Plate Fish Bowl tutorial and incorporate it into a Dr Seuss themed craft!

Use paint red some recycled toilet paper rolls or craft tubes to make Thing 1 & 2 puppets. I think the handprint “hair” in this craft idea is the best part! Just cut two slits on the side of the craft tube and slide it on to hold in place.
