Dr. Seuss Week

I'm definitely behind on posting activities from preschool. 
This is from the end of February/beginning of March.

Dr. Seuss week was very exciting for me and the children in my class. 
I was amazed and impressed at how well they listened to the stories. 
Many of them are very long for two year olds. 
They seem even longer to me when reading them back to back. 
Some of our favorites were The Cat in the Hat, One Fish, Two Fish…, Green Eggs and Ham, 
Oh the Thinks You Can Think, The Foot Book, 
There's a Wocket in my Pocket and Mr. Brown Can Moo, Can You?
This is our Bulletin Board outside our room. 

I think my favorite moment during the week was when one of my funny 
little boys put on a stethoscope from our dress up area and said 
"I'm Dr. Seuss!"  


Free Art 
This is art where the children create whatever they like.



I love these bright paintings. 


They painted, while I read Oh, the Thinks You Can Think.




These are some drawings of The Cat in the Hat. 




Handprint Keepsakes

I don't call these art because the children have little or nothing to do with the final product. 
They put on the eyes but that's about it. Still, the children enjoy seeing the final product and parents love them. I try to throw one into every unit. This one got two! 

Thing 1 and Thing 2 from The Cat in the Hat
I got the idea here.


One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish
I've done this for a while so I don't know whom to credit.

This is our version of a "Cat in the Hat" snack. 
Cool whip and red jello! 

Even though this snack is low in fat and sugar, it's not very natural. 
Layered strawberries and yogurt would be much healthier but this was a cheaper option. 
Sometimes we have to make that choice. 

It would also be cute layered in clear cups.
