34 Dr. Seuss Birthday Party Ideas to Celebrate Baby's First Year ~ Incredible Infant

Last month the kids and I discovered an entirely new giggle-worthy Dr. Seuss book called Bartholomew and the Oobleck. (We were surprise, surprise making an oobleck.)

Every child needs at least one Dr. Seuss book on the bedroom shelf. He’s an icon of childhood.

Reading those books to your child is a christening in creativity. Their imaginative word-games seep deep into your child’s psyche and awaken a sense of wonder like none other!

The good doctor would have turned 110 on March 2nd, so in honor of his great legacy, I though it would be appropriate to focus birthday planning post on all his incredible characters.

So gather up your Zizzer Zazzer Zuzz, Wocket, a few Whos, and even a reluctant Grinch to celebrate your child’s birthday!

Dr. Seuss Makes
Everything More Memorable

I’ve got this hypothesis about life: everything is more memorable with a little dose of Dr. Seuss mixed in.

Whether that’s an afternoon science class on the weirdness of Ooblecks, or simple games to prepare your little ones for Kindergarten…or an afternoon birthday party.

I would be really excited to see how YOUR Dr. Seuss birthday party turned out! So make sure you share a photo below in the Facebook comments!
