On March 2nd, we will be celebrating the birthday of Dr. Seuss. We have a few ideas planned and a few activity boxes prepared as well.
This is our “Cat in the Hat” activity box. It is simply several laminated Dr. Seuss hats cut from red construction and a set of laminated strips of construction paper…
The children will be invited to place the laminated strips on the cat’s hat any way they wish.
A simple idea to extend the story into our play and a great way to promote a little patterning practice!
I’ve been thinking a lot about patterns! I like this simile idea!
Hi, Deborah! I was wondering if I can include a photo and link back to this for a compilation of Dr. Seuss activities I’m working on for my other blog?!!
Thanks!
Of course – that is never a problem:)
I just wanted to make sure!!
Hope you’re having a great week! 🙂
I love that you laminated them to do over and over again. I had my 3’s paint theirs as a pattern. We also used Styrofoam circles some red and some white to make patterns.

I am always looking for ideas for patterning. Also enjoyed your post on organization. Thanks!
Thank you Kristi!
Great idea! I will use it at this week’s Dr. Seuss day.
Thank you for stopping by Lorene!
This is cute! And I love the pattern… I might try this out some time this week 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
