Dr. Seuss Inspired Snack Ideas

Have a little fun with these Dr. Seuss inspired Snack Ideas for your child!

Dr. Seuss Inspired Activities for Kids at The Educators' Spin On It

We’re joining to celebrate Dr. Seuss’s Birthday and NEA’s Read Across America Day! Here are some of our favorites from Dr. Suess that we’ll be including in our Little Hands that Cook with Books and Dr. Seuss this week.

The Cat in the Hat and Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss is one of the first BIG books that your child will be able to read all by themselves as they become emergent readers. It’s a special moment when they realize they’ve read it ALL by themselves. 

What a great way to celebrate than with a special Dr. Seuss inspired Snack.

Dr. Seuss Red Picture Frame Idea

We had so much fun with each of our children creating a Dr. Suess Moment with the red frame. I encourage you to do this at home or school too.  The best part is you can use the frame for other holidays too including Valentine’s Day, Christmas, Fourth of July or Back to School.

    Oooh, I am inspired to make something yummy for the kiddos on Friday. Wasn't planning on it, but this post is just too cute Kim!
    PS- wonder what else we can do with this red frame. It is so much fun to take pictures with =)

    We've also made a Cat in the Hat snack but wanted a healthier version. We used a rice cracker for the base then layered slices of strawberries and peeled cucumbers for the top of the hat. You can see it here

    I was trying to think of a healthier way and LOVE the rice cracker idea. I may even have a bag of the minis in my pantry. I was thinking about making a fruit parfait like this one https://theeducatorsspinonit.com/2012/02/little-hands-that-cook-with-books-dairy.html only layering plain yogurt and strawberries in one of my juice cups, then setting it on a red circle for a cat-in-the-hat breakfast. I enjoy seeing healthy spins on cute food!
