Celebrate Dr. Seuss With Craft Ideas

March 2nd is Dr. Seuss’s birthday. How about celebrating Dr. Seuss’s birthday by starting off the day with some green eggs and ham. And make sure your child is dressed for the occasion in a Dr. Seuss party hat! The Dr Seuss hat-craft is a simple kids’ craft to make.

Next on the agenda some fun Thing 1 and Thing 2 Pencil Toppers. You’ll find these character-filled pencils very simple to craft. They can be made ahead and shared as a gift to celebrate Dr Seuss birthday.

Cards are also a fun and simple craft that is a great way to celebrate Dr Seuss with others. I thought this Handprint Thing Free Printable Craft by Simple Everyday Mom was a pretty cute idea.

Read the Fox in the Socks while your child reads along with a puppet. What’s best about the puppet it’s a Dr Seuss craft for toddlers that they can make with just a bit of help. This popsicle stick handprint Fox in the Socks puppet was created by Glued to My Crafts.
