Dr. Seuss Math Activities

February 25, by Sarah White. Leave a Comment

Just because Dr. Seuss is celebrated with reading, doesn’t mean you can’t add a Seuss spin to other classroom activities. There are lots of great math games and activity ideas out there! Here are a few easy ones to check out for Seuss week and beyond.

Ten Apples Up On Top is a classic book to pair with easy math, and Learning Here N There has an easy activity based on it using a felt board. Or you can make apple blocks to stack and count as you read the story, like these from What We Can Do with Paper and Glue. If you don’t have bulletin board apples handy, you could find an apple printable to cut out and color for this purpose.

Using dot markers to decorate a red fish and blue fish isn’t necessarily a math activity, but it’s an easy thing to count the dots as you mark them or count how many dots are on each fish after you color them. Get the printables from The Resourceful Mama.

These Cat in the Hat math mats are colorful and fun. There are sheets for rolling dice, adding the numbers and covering up the solution on the hat, as well as one where you can make patterns with red and white pompoms, buttons, colored beans or other objects. Grab these from JDaniel4’s Mom.

Upcycle an egg carton and make an art project into math with this Yertle the Turtle math activity from There’s Just One Mommy.

Speaking of combining crafts and math, grab some craft sticks to make simple math manipulatives like these from Lalymom. You can punch stars to add to the ends for counting, pattern making and other activities, or you can draw shapes on the ends or use stickers. You could also make shapes or letters with the sticks and then count the number of stars or marks on them. Or just see what your child does with them!

Earth Day Printables and Activities

I know doing printables for Earth Day doesn’t sound very eco friendly, but it does give you a chance to talk to kids about how you can make the classroom or the home a little greener by only printing what you need, using low ink or only black and white printing, printing on the back of other pages, using recycled paper and recycling what you can when you are done.

These Earth Day printables help kids learn about Earth Day or use earth designs.

Pre-K Pages has Earth Day math printables, including a dice rolling game with a recycling theme, graphing, number grouping and sequencing activities.

123 Homeschool 4 Me has a variety of printables for Earth Day including writing prompts, plant life cycle worksheets and links to other activities.

A Dab of Glue will Do has a little printable emergent reader book that explores the basics of Earth Day and some things we can all do to be kind to the planet. You can print it in color or black and white and have kids color it themselves.

Speaking of coloring pages, Preschool Mom has a collection of coloring pages with color versions that you can use as posters in the classroom as well as having kids color the black and white ones.

I love all the printable hands on activities from Differentiated Kindergarten, which help kids build fine motor skills with an Earth Day twist. You’ll find printable mats for use with playdough, geo boards, snap cubes, pattern blocks and Legos, as well as a Q-tip painting activity. You can get these when you sign up for emails.

Here are a few more quick printable Earth Day activities for your kiddos:
