Dr Seuss
"Children want the same things we want. To laugh, to be challenged, to be entertained and delighted."
Theodore Geisel
Perhaps one of the best-known and best-loved children's authors of all time, Dr Seuss (Theodore Seuss Geisel) is most famous for his delightful stories of The Cat in the Hat and How the Grinch Stole Christmas, now successful movies - but there are so many more to enjoy! Make your reading of Dr Seuss even more memorable by trying some of these Dr Seuss activities or party ideas below.

Give a Dr Seuss Themed Party
Anything red and white striped is instantly evocative of Dr Seuss, especially if you through in a little bright blue! How about filling up some party paper cups with popcorn? If you can't find stripes, you could always add your own with a red marker, and write on each child's name - that way they could double up place settings!
