Theodor Seuss Geisel (Dr. Seuss)
was born on March 2, 1904, in Springfield, Massachusetts, United
States. He was a writer of children's books in the United States
(1904-1991). During his extended career, he had written more
than 40 children's books that have sold more than 200 million
prints all over the world. Based on the popular children's
characters of his books, Dr Seuss crafts and activities have
originated.There are a
variety of Dr. Seuss crafts and activities available in various
books and websites. Some of the crafts are Dr. Seuss
cat-in-the-hat hat, Horton hears a who craft, green eggs and ham
placemat, Dr. Seuss doorknob hangers, Dr. Seuss medicine
cabinet, and make a colored bookmark.
The easiest among the Dr. Seuss
crafts is Dr. Seuss' Cat-in-the-Hat hat. It is a wearable paper
hat; if you wear this, you will look like Dr. Seuss'
Cat-in-the-Hat. The materials required to make this hat are
construction paper (red and white), glue, poster board, and tape
or stapler. First, cut a piece of white construction paper into
strips that are about 2˛ × 8.5˛. Then cut a two-inch strip from
the poster board that is as lengthy as you want to fit your
head. Paste few white strips onto a piece of red construction
paper. Try to keep equal spaces between strips, and leave nearly
two inches of red at the bottom edge hence you can cut it to
appear like a brim. Allow the glue dry for few minutes. Once it
is dry, cut it into a hat-like shape. Glue or staple the
bottommost center of the hat onto the poster board strip's
center. Once you have attached the hat to the band, attach the
band strip's ends together using tape or stapler to fit closely
around your forehead.
Horton Hears a Who Craft is
simple pink clover that looks like the one Horton is holding in
the movie. You can also make this craft easily. To make this
clover craft, first, take a green-colored pencil and paste a
pink pompon to at the tail end of the pencil. Then paste a tiny
white pompon onto the pink pompon and let it dry completely. Now
the clover is ready!
