“I am the Lorax. I speak for the trees”. Whether you’re celebrating Dr. Seuss’ birthday, Reading Week, Earth Day, or having a Lorax movie night, these Dr. Seuss Lorax Mustache Pops are the perfect fun treat to enjoy while reading the book or watching the movie! The Lorax is one of our favorite Dr. Seuss books. “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, Nothing is going to get better. It’s not.” It’s one that can spark some great discussion on ecology and the environment. So, this is a book often used for Earth Day and even in some science classes as part of their ecology units. It also fits well if you’re celebrating Dr. Seuss’s birthday or as part of “Reading Week” or “Read Across America Day”.
As a former teacher, I know how popular that is. In fact, we have a huge list of Dr. Seuss crafts & fun foods here you can check out! So, we’re adding another fun idea to the list with these fun Dr. Seuss Lorax Mustache candy pops!
