Dr. Seuss Recipes and Activities Your Kids
Will Love
What child doesn’t love
Dr. Seuss books? We have quite a few of them
lying around the house. The kids enjoy the
silly characters and the rhymes. The Dr.
Seuss inspired recipes that I’m about to
share with you have been a great hit in our
house. Of course the famous green eggs and
ham are included, but there are also quite a
few other snack and meal ideas. Create a fun
Dr. Seuss inspired afternoon with some of
these recipes and of course don’t forget to
read a few of the books with your kids. (If
you don’t own any, enjoy a trip to your
local library.)
Green Eggs and Ham
This has to be the most famous Dr. Seuss inspired dish. Scramble a few
eggs, add a couple of drops of blue food coloring to the mixture and
cook as usual. You can serve a warmed up slice of ham with it, and if
you want to go all out, brush the ham with a little green food coloring.
My kids love either biscuits, or mashed potatoes
with this dish. Add a little food coloring (either green, or a
complimentary color like red) to the biscuit dough or the finished
mashed potatoes for even more fun.
Cat in The Hat Snack
Make the Cat’s Hat
for a fun snack. All you need is a few Ritz crackers, gummy lifesavers
(preferably in white/clear and red) and a little vanilla frosting. Put
the Ritz cracker on a plate. Use a little bit of vanilla frosting to
glue the first lifesaver on the cracker. “Glue” more lifesavers on top
of the first one alternating between red and white. These snacks are so
cute; you may want to take a picture of your child’s creation before it
is devoured.
Wiggly Fish
This snack was
inspired by “One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish”. Prepare several
different colors of Jello according to package directions and pour each
flavor into a shallow pan. Use a fish shaped cookie cutter to cut the
Jello into fish shapes. (If you don’t have a fish shaped cookie cutter
you could also just cut fish shapes with a knife.) You can also add
small pieces of fruit to the Jello mixture before it cools. This is a
great way to sneak an extra serving of fruit into your child’s diet.
Pink Ink for The Yink
The Yink in “One
Fish, Two Fish” love to drink pink ink. Make your own version by
combining a few strawberries (either fresh, or frozen and thawed) and
some milk in a blender. Add a few drops of red food coloring if the
“ink” isn’t pink enough.
A Fruity Hat For The Cat
How about this for a fun Sunday breakfast? Whip up a batch of
silver dollar pancakes and cut up some fresh strawberries. Grab some
whipped cream and let the kids assemble the Cat’s hat by stacking
pancakes, and strawberries on top of each other using the whipped cream
as “glue”.
Enjoy a few of these Dr. Seuss inspired snacks and
meals with your family, or invite a few neighbor kids over for a Dr.
Seuss party. Either way they are a lot of fun and a great way to bring
some of the Seuss stories to life.
