Celebrating Dr. Seuss' Birthday

We love Dr. Seuss in our home and will celebrate his birthday again this year. Last year, we went to a Kidgits event at the mall and it was so much fun. The internet is full of ideas for how to celebrate Dr. Seuss from games to parties, and of course, local events. Check out some of the places where you can find Read Across America activities in your neighborhood.

I love hearing from my readers. How do you and your family celebrate Dr. Seuss' birthday? Maybe we'll give it a try next year.

  1. Our school used to do a big Dr. Seuss week every year. Since we changed principles, they have cancelled it all. So sad. We love Dr. Seuss in our family.

    1. My son missed the big celebration at school yesterday because he is sick. He was so sad. I'll probably do something today to make up for it.

  2. Last year when Duke was in Kindergarten they really celebrated! They did a special reading in the school library and made arts and crafts all week - we even got invited to a Cat in the Hat birthday party :) I loved Dr. Seuss since I was little and so happy that my kids love his stories too!

    1. How fun. Dr. Seuss crafts all week long, I'd be all over that. I'll have to look up some crafts on Pinterest to try at home.
