Design Your Own Socks for Dr Seuss Week

February 27, 2020 by Sarah White 1 Comment

Dr. Seuss, beloved author and illustrator, has captured the hearts and imaginations of generations with his whimsical characters and colorful illustrations. His stories have taught us valuable lessons about friendship, courage, and the power of imagination.

Scroll down to get to the link for the printable…

And now, fans of Dr. Seuss can express their love for his work in a new way – through their feet!

It seems like just about every place that participates in Read Across America Week includes a crazy sock day in honor of Fox in Socks. My daughter’s school always does, and this would be a fun activity to add for kids on a wacky sock day.

This week-long event encourages fans of all ages to design and decorate their own pair of socks inspired by Dr. Seuss’ iconic illustrations.

From the mischievous Cat in the Hat to the charming Horton the Elephant, the possibilities for sock designs are endless. Whether you prefer bold colors or subtle hues, intricate patterns or simple designs, this event is a chance to let your creativity run wild and show off your unique style.

Sloan Did It on Teachers Pay Teachers has a cute printable you can grab for just $1 that allows kids to design their own crazy socks, and you can use it to start to tell a story about the kind of person who might wear those socks or what caused the child to want to design the socks in that way.

This is a fun activity to do together as a class and share or have in the art or writing center for kids to do on their own. Grab it from Teachers Pay Teachers.

Poppy Crafts for Remembrance Day

Remembrance Day (marked as Veterans Day in the United States) is Nov. 11, and it marks the end of hostilities in World War I. Poppies are a traditional symbol of the day because it is said they were the first flower to grow again on the battlefields, which inspired a famous poem. Let’s check out some poppy crafts you can make with your kids as part of a World War I unit or for Remembrance Day. 

This pretty poppy craft from Krokotak just requires the printable, some crayons, scissors and glue. The printable includes the center of the flower and kids can draw the outside as well as adding stem. 

Glued to My Crafts has a printable for a torn paper poppy, or you could color or paint this one as well. 

Use torn or cut pieces of paper to make these poppy suncatchers from Red Ted Art. 

Happy Hooligans has a bunch of great poppy crafts but I particularly like the painted rocks and easy paper plate poppy. 

Crafty Morning has a cute poppy craft made with fingerprints, which is quick and easy to do with kids of any age. 

Older kids and adults can make these folded paper poppies from Chica and Jo, but they do involve hot glue and floral wire, which can be sharp, so it’s not for young kids. An easier paper poppy that only calls for regular craft glue can be found at Sugar Spice and Glitter. This one also has a printable template to make it easier. 

These felt poppies from One Little Project also use a glue gun and a sewing needle, but they’re so pretty I couldn’t resist sharing them for older kids. Add a pipe cleaner stem or turn them into pins to wear for remembrance events. Check out their coffee filter poppy craft for a great option for younger kids.
