We had so much fun making our own Truffula Trees and the Lorax. We decided to print out the quotes from the book too to remind us of the important of making a difference.
We typed out “I am the Lorax. I speak for the Trees.” and “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot. Nothing is going to get better, it’s not.” by Dr. Seuss. We talked about ways that we can care for our trees.

The Lorax is one of my son's favorite Dr. Seuss books. He would love making truffula trees with his handprints!
I would love to share your post on my blog. There are so many great ideas.

Sara I'm not sure why it's not showing up, are you able to delete it and just resubmit it? If not we can delete it, just let me know. Thank you so much for sharing with us!
We'd love for you to share a link of our post on your site, thanks for asking Sarah.
It was a lot of fun, we talk about ways to use our hands to help protect the trees too so it was symbolic for her.
The Lorax is definitely one of my favorites! Your painting is wonderful – so cheerful. We'll see if we can fit something of Dr Seuss to participate in this link up.
Hi. Thanks for getting back to me. I do not see a way for me to delete it and repost. If you can do so on your end, please let me know so that once you delete it, I can repost. Thanks!
And this Virtual Book Club idea is awesome! I love all the ideas that I have found this month and previous months! =)
Very innovative the way you made your Truffula trees. I think the kids would love making them also. They look so good.
Thanks for sharing these. Kids will surely enjoy these.
