When I think of rhyming, I think of Dr. Seuss Books which makes them so much fun for preschoolers to enjoy. Young children will love these Dr Seuss crafts for preschoolers. From a handprint craft to paper plate crafts, these creative ideas are a great way to create your favorite characters from your favorite book.
Dr. Seuss’ birthday is March 2nd and to honor that, many schools across the country celebrate Read Across America day or even Read Across America Week. So pick up your favorite Dr. Seuss book and give one of these Dr Seuss preschool crafts a try!
Green Eggs and Ham Crafts
Green Eggs and Ham Art from Play Teach Repeat. Wine cork painting turns these organic shapes into green eggs. What a great idea!
Paper Plate Craft from Glue to My Crafts – A fun activity to go with this famous book.
Process Art Green Eggs craft (source) is a fun way to integrate process art into a great craft! Start by marble painting. Put a piece of construction paper in a box with a few squirts of green paint. Put a handful of marbles or a couple of golf balls in the box and have each child move the box back and forth to move the marbles through the paint. If you have a big box, two children could work together by standing on each side of the box and coordinating their movements. Once the paint is dry, cut organic circular shapes and paste a green circle in the middle.

Patterning Strips of paper into a hat from Wild and Fun in PreK is a fun Cat in the Hat craft for young children.
