Who Doesn't love Dr. Seuss?! I'm just glad that his wonderful stories continue to flood the theater, television, libraries, schools...and even my house! I don't think his creativity ever gets old, so in honor of one of my all time favorite authors...Here is our tribute (through eating of course) to Dr. Seuss.
To start off the day, I packed a fun lunch for the girls. I found this cute lunch idea online here.
Then I included a little paper that read, "Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss...do you like green eggs and ham?"
I also created my own version of a Cat and the Hat themed 'hat' by layering fresh diced strawberries and cool whip. Then, threw in a little green grass, green 'egg' grapes and green spoon, with a 'Horton Hatches the Egg' treat.
DISCLAIMER: I wanted to share these ideas incase anyone was interested in using them for Dr. Seuss's official birthday tomorrow, so none of the pictures have been edited and all of them were taken quickly, so although they aren't the best, hopefully you get the idea.
Here is what I have planned for after school snacks and dinner tonight:
Mr. Brown Can Moo Chocolate Milk
Horton Hears a Who Bugle Snack
One Fish Two Fish Red Fish GREEN Fish- sorry fish crackers don't come in blue so I improvised!
Truffula Trees from The Lorax- There are several cute versions online, but I just used green Easter Rolos for the base, twisted pretzel sticks for the trunk and Cotton Candy for the top of the tree.
Ten Apples Up On Top Apple and Grape Skewers
There's A Wocket In My Pita Pocket- Ham and cheese pitas.
I haven't had a chance to fix the marshmallow hats yet, but thought the girls might have fun making them too, so here is one of the cuter versions I also found online just so you have a visual to follow.
Here is the link and details on how to make these super fun chocolate dipped mallows.
AND- Who could forget about David Donald Doo and his vast love for donuts. His love for donuts runs so deep, he dreams dreams about a dozen donuts probably on a regular basis!
Don't Forget the Hop On Pop Popcorn either!
Hopefully some of these ideas will inspire you to create some cute treats for a fun filled weekend where you can FEAST FEAST FEAST FEAST even with a Grinch on a train or in a box or with a fox!
*I HAVE PRINTABLES AND LABELS FOR EACH ITEM, I ADAPTED EACH BOOK TO FIT MY THEMED FOOD (i.e. ONE FISH TWO FISH RED FISH GREEN FISH and THERE IS A WOCKET IN MY PITA POCKET) IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN PRINTING THEM OFF, JUST SHOOT ME AN E-MAIL, THEY CAN ALL BE PRINTED IN COLOR BUT APPARENTLY MY PRINTER IS STILL CURRENTLY HOLDING A GRUDGE AFTER TOO MUCH HOLIDAY PRINTING.* ENJOY!
