Happy 107th Birthday to one of our favorite children's book authors! Have some awesome fun with your little ones to celebrate his birthday! Here are some simple ideas for some at-home fun!
1. Read! Read! Read! Choose from the many books written by Seuss, or just read some of your little ones' favorites together (which we know you do anyway).
2. Visit your local library for story time!
3. Have a Seussical feast! One idea: green eggs and ham! Cook up some scrambled eggs and add a few drops of green food coloring. Then make a "green" ham sandwich on the side: just add a few drops of green food coloring to the mayo, mustard, or ranch dressing and of course include several green lettuce leaves.
4. Make a Cat in the Hat Pizza (originally featured in the March 2007 Parents magazine)! Purchase a roll of Pillsbury Pizza dough, a jar of pizza sauce, and some grated mozarella cheese. Unroll the pizza dough and cut off a 1/2 inch section at the bottom. Roll and stretch out the dough to create the bottom rim of the hat. Keeping the rest of the dough in a rectangular shape, place it atop the rim. Now, pour the pizza sauce over the entire "hat". Finally, using the mozzarella, create the "stripes" on the hat, leaving 1 inch spaces of just sauce between each mozzarella stripe. Bake following the directions on the pizza dough package. Serve with a side of veggies.
