Happy Dr. Seuss Day!
Target Age Range: 2 and up
This is a super fun activity meant for children of all ages. This activity is based off of one of my favorite Dr. Seuss books, The Lorax. Today we’re building Truffula Trees!
I used my sensory box to hide pipe cleaners and pom poms. I did cut the pipe cleaners in half, making some bigger and some smaller for variety. Then, using the tongs, either tweezer tongs or scissor tongs, we’re finding the pieces to build trees. For some of the younger kiddos we’re just finding and building trees, for some of the older kiddos, we’re gluing the trees down! Then for the even older kiddos (Kindergarten and up) we can write a few sentences describing our trees.
Pro tip: use squeeze bottle glue if you have it and are having your child glue down the Truffle Trees, it helps promote hand strength and endurance!
Happy Dr. Seuss Day and enjoy!
