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!!!

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!
