My daughter and I love reading Dr. Seuss books together. Pairing a fun educational craft with a Dr. Seuss book is always a favorite way to spend an afternoon at our house. Learning about shapes with Dr. Seuss and blending colors with water is an activity we will definitely be doing again. The Shape of Me and Other Stuff is the perfect book to learn shape recognition. If your child has already mastered all of the shapes, the book is full of great illustrations to practice drawing. learning-shapes-with-Dr.-Seuss
