Yesterday, in honor of Dr. Seuss's birthday, the kids and I celebrated with a couple of cute activities. I found a great idea on
Pinterest for making
Cat in the Hat hat cookies but I used red cookie icing instead of the red candy melts for the stripes. I then searched around for some Lorax themed crafts. I found this
tutorial for making a Lorax mask and changed it up a bit based on the materials I had on hand. After making the cookies and the masks, I read the kids
The Lorax and they goofed around with their masks.

| For the masks, I used some foam pumpkins I had on hand. Drew eyes to cut out on the orange pumpkins and used the yellow to make the moustache |
 |
| I cut ovals out of brown felt for the nose and glued a Popsicle stick to the back |
 |
| "I am the Lorax" |
 |
| "I speak for the trees" |

“Look at me!
Look at me!
Look at me NOW!
It is fun to have fun
But you have to know how.”

ReplyDeleteIn honor of Dr. Suess's birthday, would you be interested in guest posting this post on our Shaffer Sisters blog? We would put a pin-it button on it, and post it next Friday.
