The National Education Association (NEA) Read Across America Day is a nationwide reading celebration that takes place annually on March 2—Dr. Seuss’s birthday! Across the country, thousands of schools, libraries, and community centers participate by bringing together kids, teens, and books. You can incorporate guides and activities to help celebrate reading with young students and family members. The following are two Dr. Seuss inspired activities that are fun for the entire family:
Lorax Seeds Craft & Printable
Materials
Glittery colored craft pom poms
Pipe cleaners
Scissors
Seed packets
Ribbon or twine
Hole punch

Lorax quote printable
Instructions
- Cut out the Lorax quote cards from the printable.
- Punch a hole in the corner of each card.
- Punch a hole in the upper corner of each seed packet. Do it where the package is sealed at the top so that the seeds will not leak out.
- Cut a pipe cleaner in half.
- Use a hot glue gun to attach a glitterly craft pom pom to the top of a piece of pipe cleaner.
- Thread a piece of ribbon or string through a seed packet and then through one of the Lorax quote cards. Tie the ribbon or string into a bow around one of the pipe cleaner truffula trees.
