Birthday with the Lorax

It's coming, it's almost here, Dr. Seuss' Birthday.

Last year I made truffula trees with the second graders and knitted them a thneed. This year I'll have the Lorax to pass around, can you tell this is my favorite Seuss book!

Below are the links to my other Seuss projects:

Truffula Trees

Well, I am winding 70 yarn balls so the kids can make pom poms on Wednesday.

The pom poms will be made into Truffula Trees. And Truffula Trees are what everyone needs.

Thneed

March 2nd is Dr. Seuss' birthday and I will be volunteering at the elementary school that very day, Yipee! That means I get to read my favorite Seuss story, The Lorax and do a Seuss craft. I've been working on a bit of show and tell also.

The pink item here is a thneed, "A Thneed's a Fine Something-That-All-People-Need!" suffice it to say it has many uses.

You won't find a pattern for a thneed and each picture in the book shows a different style. You just have to wing it which is what the Once-ler probably did.

This piece will be donated to the school afterwards so that they can remember this lesson for years to come. The story of over using our precious resources.
