Dr. Seuss Birthday

We had a fun Dr. Seuss Day on Dr. Seuss's Birthday (March 2nd).  You could also do this for St. Patrick's Day, or just any day you want to share some good stories and fun with your kids.
We started out by reading a few of our favorite Dr. Seuss Books.  We had a few and also checked out a few from the library.

 




After our story time we colored some pictures I got off the internet.  I just googled Dr. Seuss coloring pages and found lots.


 Aren't they cute!


The finished product

Then we watched the movie that we found at the Library.  It actually had a few stories.


We made snacks to go with our lunch.  Pretzel sticks with a little bit of melted white chocolate chips.  I just put about a 1/4 cup of white chocolate chips in a sandwich baggie.  I melted them for a few minutes in the microwave, making sure I stopped every 20-30 seconds and squished the bag a little.  Then I just snipped a little off of a corner of the bag and squeezed the chocolate onto the pretzels.  Then we topped them off with a green M&M's and put in the fridge til the hardened.
Then we enjoyed our lunch of green eggs and ham with our little snacks we made.  For the Green Eggs and Ham, I just made scrambled eggs with a little diced ham in them.  I also added a little bit of green food coloring, milk, salt and pepper.

We had a lot of fun.


Dr. Seuss Day was a success.  Here are the smile on my kids (all decked out in their greens) to prove it.

Cute Crayons

I saw this idea here. I thought they would make great favors to put in little bags for Lindsay's birthday party. I also thought it was a great way to get rid of all the little broken pieces of crayon we have all over. I would rather make them into cute little crayons then fish them out of my daughter's nose again. So with my coupon from JoAnn's I bought some silicone mini muffin tins and went to town unwrapping broken crayons. I didn't end up putting them in candy molds like the website did, but I still think they turned out pretty cute. Can't beat, cheap and cute party favors.

Krayon Keepers


I made these little Krayon Keepers for my little monkey's and my niece and nephew for Christmas. They were pretty easy. They would make great birthday gifts for little ones. Just thought I would share. This is the link that taught me how to make them. Click Here.
