Our Dr. Seuss week

The beginning of the week I posted that we were going to do a Dr. Seuss week for his birthday.  It was a lot of fun!  Here's some highlights...(tons of pics, so I'll try to not write much to make it a little shorter)

Reading Horton Hears a Who with our Who ears..


 Rex using his 'big Horton ears' to pick up the letter as I made the sound.


lots of Seuss worksheets..

 ...measuring things around the house with our feet...



 ...clothespinning the correct number of apples...
 ...'atch' sound eggs on Horton's nest...

 I loved Captain's writing project...making his own crazy animal for "If I Ran the Zoo" :)



 (above) Tot found roll and graph..
(below) reading Yertle the Turtle and making our turtles...



 At the end of one day with our ears on watching a 1970 Warner Brothers "Horton Hears a Who" on youtube (it was really good).
Playing "The Cat in the Hat" board game I bought  long time ago for .50 and never played...super fun.
Rex had to spins in two circles with the fan under his right arm.
 Captain walking backwards around the trickamastick with a book between his elbows.
 Tot trying to feel he was playing too.  He'd just grab something and do something funny.
 ..slide under with a rake on your chest..
 ...hop over it with a boat under your chin...


 He kept putting it under his chin and walking to the kitchen and back :)

..and finally our opening day zoo trip :) Yeah!

 Dr Seuss coloring..



 Captain wore his thing 1 and thing 2 shirt I picked up last week for .25 :)






 Tot following along with her reading :)

 So happy!
 ..and a little more zoo fun :)
 We got to feel a lion's mane hair :)



 Learning about monkeys..
 Tot was AMAZED!!!
 The monkey's snacks...
...and that's it!!! Sorry for all the pics.  I tried to keep it quick!  Have a great week!
