Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!

March 2nd is Dr. Seuss's birthday! And a day dubbed "Read Across America" in his honor. To celebrate Dr. Seuss's birthday we are going to read lots and do a few other fun activities.

Oobleck
Oobleck is a super fun, sensory activity for kids. It's kind of like play dough but not as stiff. It comes from the book Bartholomew and Oobleck by Dr. Seuss.
Here is a link to the recipe: http://www.kinderteacher.com/oobleck.htm

Seuss Hat Snack
I saw an idea on pinterest that has half an oreo cookie on the bottom, icing and red gummy life savers alternating to make a Cat in the Hat hat. I thought I could use chocolate wafer cookies (homemade) with banana and strawberry circles alternating instead...to try to be a little more healthy!
