Dr Seuss characters are fun to learn along with on Dr Seuss’ birthday (March 2nd) and well any time of the year really. Children see characters that they know and get excited about getting to play and learn with them outside of their books. I have created at number for learning games and activities the feature Dr Seuss characters over the last few years. I hope that you find a few that you that you would like to do with the children that learn with you.
