This is the week to break out your favorite Dr. Seuss stories and read to your favorite little people The Cat in the Hat. Dr. Seuss’s birthday is March 2nd and it gives us a moment to remember so many wonderful stories written to encourage a love of reading in children. Don’t miss the super fabulous GREEN EGGS AND HAM dessert!
We celebrated this week with a Cat-Ebration, a celebration with all things Dr. Seuss, including Thing 1 and Thing 2. Our party guests were treated to red fish, blue fish and some very sweet green eggs and ham. We were visited by a Cat in the Hat second grader who took the time to read to our little ones. What a great way to motivate our early readers to get excited about reading.
The kids also got a sneak peek at the new CAT IN THE HAT KNOWS A LOT ABOUT THAT episodes running this week on PBS Kids. Check your local listings for showtimes.
Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss…aka Theodore Geisel.
Those adorable Green Eggs and Ham dessert are made with candy melts found in the baking aisle. Look for white chocolate and the special green candies. Head over here for more ways to celebrate Dr. Seuss’s birthday with craft activities and more.
**After so many people asked for the recipe, I shared a new post detailing how the Green Eggs and Ham dessert is easily created. Enjoy.
