Dr. Seuss - Sleep Book Craft

                                           

This  craft will encourages children to read, retell the story, and create. It's also a great way for kids to work on developing their fine motor skills and listening comprehension.

What you'll need:

Dr.Seuss Sleep Book

Paper Plate

Yellow Paint

Paint Brush

Yellow Curling Ribbon

Yellow Construction Paper

White Construction Paper

Glue

Scissors

Black Pom Pom

Black Marker                     

Directions:

• To begin making this book-inspired craft, your kids will paint a paper plate with the yellow paint. You can also buy yellow paper plates to save time.  
• After the paint dries, your children will glue the black pom pom in the middle of the paper plate. If you don't have black pom poms, they can cut a circle out of black construction paper. 
• Next, your students will draw a mouth at the bottom of the paper plate with the marker.  
• Then, your kids will cut the yellow curling ribbon in strips that are about four inches long. Before attaching the ribbon the plate plate, tape the ends together it a bunch so it is easier to glue. After taping the ribbon together, your kids will glue it on the back of the paper plate so the ribbon sticks out of the top for the hair.  
• While the glue dries, your students will cut one circle or oval out of the yellow and two circles or ovals out of the white construction paper. Next, your kids will fold and cut the yellow circle or oval in half. They will then glue them onto the top of the white circles ovals to create Van Vleck's droopy eyelids. 
• After gluing the circles or ovals together, your students will attach them on the center of the paper plate. Finally, they will then draw a semi-circle on the white ovals using a black marker for the pupils.
