One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish

The fourth book in our Dr. Seuss week was One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish. There are many unique characters in this book, but we focused on something recognizable--the fish.

We started off with a matching game. I found magazine ads with distinct colors and/or patterns, cut out one basic fish shape per ad, and cut the fish in half seperating the head from the tail. We mixed up all the tails and heads then my daughter matched the two.

On the menu for lunch was a ham fishwich followed by fish Jigglers after nap. (Jiggler recipe) We ended the day with a trip to the lake for a little...........fishing. Any other ideas for Dr. Seuss activities?

Dr. Seuss's ABC

My daughter had a playdate this morning, so we moved our Dr. Seuss theme to the afternoon. Today was Dr. Seuss's ABC. We enjoyed ABC Bingo until lil' sis wanted to put the bingo markers in her mouth. We will definately play the game again, but on the table. I made my own bingo cards, but there are several to choose here.

Green Eggs Day

To celebrate Dr. Seuss, we are devoting each day of this week to one of his fun books. Yesterday was Cat In The Hat. Today centered on Green Eggs and Ham. We played Musical Squares using rhyming words from the book. For lunch, we ate green eggs, a must for Green Eggs Day. My daugther loves wraps so I rolled the green eggs and ham in a tortilla. It doesn't look appetizing, but "I like them, Sam-I-am!" Seussville also has several online games to tie into the theme. Tomorrow's feature will be Dr. Seuss's ABC.

"The Cat In The Hat" Activities

Tomorrow, March 2nd, is Dr. Seuss' birthday. To celebrate, I have a week full of tricks based on his fun books. Today was centered around The Cat in the Hat. This book was fitting for today because we felt like the two kids stuck inside "all [this] cold, cold wet day." Our tricks were:

1. Making a hat out of a cardboard oatmeal container and a paper plate.

2. Balancing the hat on our heads.

3. Playing "cat, cat, hat." (a.ka. duck, duck, goose)

4. Checking out the games at Seussville.

5. Working on "at" words. (Hat printable here.)

6. Turning a jelly sandwich into a hat.

Thanks Cat in the Hat for all the great fun! Get your stomach ready for tomorrow, Green Eggs and Ham!
