Plan a Green Eggs and Ham almost slumber party. Invite your child’s
playmates (and their Mothers) to come over to your house in their pajamas. For
refreshments, the group can cook green scrambled eggs and ham of course! After
eating, everyone can get comfortable while you read Green Eggs and Ham. You can also invite each child to bring their
favorite Dr. Seuss book for their Mom to read to the group. For an activity,
you can have each child make a paper chain necklace using red and white
construction paper and clear tape. (This is a nice opportunity for preschoolers
to practice cutting on a straight line. Use child safe scissors and a marker,
so that the line is very distinct. You may have to cut the strips for younger
preschoolers.) Attach a heart to the front of the necklace using tape, and
write, “My favorite Dr. Seuss book is _____.” You can also play pin the hat on
the cat!
For invitations, help your child
draw a large sunny side up egg. In the middle of the yolk, have your child draw
her face complete with a Dr. Seuss hat! Now, add a rhyming header such as,
“Watch out! Dr. Seuss is on the loose! And you’re invited.”
