This month is coming to a fast close and pretty soon Dr Seuss’ birthday {March 2nd} will be here!

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!

In celebration of what is to come, I’m kicking off this year’s Dr Seuss themed crafts on the blog with today’s Paper Plate Green Eggs Kid Craft. Not only is it super simple for preschoolers to make in a snap BUT it also goes along perfectly with the beloved classic “Green Eggs and Ham” by Dr Seuss {affiliate link}

“Do you like green eggs and ham?” asks Sam-I-am in this Beginner Book by Dr. Seuss. In a house or with a mouse? In a boat or with a goat? On a train or in a tree? Sam keeps asking persistently. With unmistakable characters and signature rhymes, Dr. Seuss’s beloved favorite has cemented its place as a children’s classic. In this most famous of cumulative tales, the list of places to enjoy green eggs and ham, and friends to enjoy them with, gets longer and longer. Follow Sam-I-am as he insists that this unusual treat is indeed a delectable snack to be savored everywhere and in every way.

Originally created by Dr. Seuss, Beginner Books encourage children to read all by themselves, with simple words and illustrations that give clues to their meaning.

So what are you waiting for? Be sure to “FRY” up this awesome craft and read the book with your child today!

Happy crafting, my friends! Don’t forget to share pictures of your “sizzlin” creation with us in our Facebook group! #gluedtomycrafts

* Large Paper Plate {one per craft}
* Silver/Gray Craft Paint

Directions:

* First have your child paint their paper plate completely silver/gray. This is the start of the frying pan.
* Set aside to let it dry completely.
* While they are working on that, cut out a handle, as well as two eggs from the cardstock {you can also cut out a piece of ham if you like!}
* To finish off the Green Eggs and Ham kid craft idea – staple/glue the cardstock pieces you made earlier, in place, on the paper plate.
