In celebration of Read Across America next week AND Dr Seuss’ birthday – today I present to YOU our Potato Stamped Green Eggs Kid Craft w/free printable template!

Not only is this kid friendly craft super simple with the free printable template I’ve included below BUT this DIY craft 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!!!
