Happy Wednesday my crafty friends! Have you seen all the Dr Seuss themed kid crafts I’ve been sharing on the blog lately? Well – continuing on with the fun “Seuss-ical” theme, I have another kid friendly craft that goes along perfectly with the Dr Seuss book Oh, The Place You’ll Go!

Oh, The Places You’ll Go! is a personal favorite of mine that is also slowly turning into a “must-read” for my son’s bedtime story. With the whimsical rhymes and perfect life lesson inside, this is a great book for children and adults of all ages. Pair it with our Paper Plate Hot Air Balloon kid craft and you are sure to have a fun “high in the sky” craft time event.

To really top it off, place your child’s picture inside the craft to give it a nice special touch and display it proudly for ALL to see. And of course – with the supplies being super simple and inexpensive on the wallet, this kid friendly craft is perfect for teachers to make to display in their classroom as well.

So what are you waiting for? Let your imagination go wild and craft this up with your child today. Grab the book to read in celebration and really make an afternoon out of it!

Find all the crafty details below! Happy crafting, my friends! #gluedtomycrafts

Paper Plate Hot Air Balloon Supplies:

* Large Paper Plate
* Red Tissue Paper
* Light Blue/White Cardstock
* School Glue
* Craft Scissors
* Hand-Held Office Stapler
* 4×6″ Child’s Picture

Directions:

* First cut your red tissue paper into small squares {let the kids practice their cutting skills}
* Take your paper plate and cut 1/4 of it off to give the look of the hot air balloon. Then put a good amount of glue all over the remainder paper plate piece. Have children place the tissue paper on top of the glue, until the paper plate is completely covered.
* While they are working on that, cut out the other hot air balloon features from the cardstock. I did a basket, as well as strips for the rope that ties the basket to the balloon.
* To finish off the Dr Seuss kid craft – staple/glue the cardstock pieces in their designated spots on the paper plate, as well as adding your child’s picture inside. Then display proudly! {or add other embellishments to really make it your own!}
