We started off our morning with some greens eggs with cheese for breakfast and a little The Cat and the Hat Knows A lot About That! watching.
We think that Thing 1 and Thing 2 are pretty silly, so we decided to make some popsicle puppets with some materials we had lying around the house.
Materials Needed:
- blue pom poms
- glue
- popsicle/craft sticks (fat ones)
- white paper
- red and white paint
- paint brush
- markers
- googly eyes
- scissors
Directions:
1. Paint your craft sticks 3/4 of the way red.
2. Paint the top of the craft stick white.
3. Cut out 2 circles and write "Thing 1" and "Thing 2" on each circle.
4. Glue the circles to the red part of the popsicle stick.
6. Use glue to add googly eyes to the white part of the craft stick.
7. Add blue pom poms to the top of the sticks with glue.
8. When everything is dry, add a mouth and nose with a marker.
9. Use your Thing 1 and Thing 2 to go and do goofy things around your house! Make messes, balance things on your head, and just be silly!
10. Read The Cat and the Hat and try and find Thing 1 and Thing 2... talk about what they do!
Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!
What a Silly SEUSStastic idea! They turned out so cute. I saw someone link to this on Twitter. I'm now following your blog. I’m adding a link to this on my children’s book blog in my Dr. Seuss Link Collection.
