We made a Cat in the Hat craft last year and wanted to try a new approach this year. With Dr. Seuss’s birthday approaching, it seemed like a great time to try!
Materials:
- white poster board (oak tag)
- painter’s tape
- red paint
- paper plate
- scissors
- tape
- stapler
Directions:
1. Measure your poster board and create stripes 1.5-2 inches wide.
2. Use painter’s tape to mark off the stripes and paint the exposed poster board red.
My son also made one but he was feeling sick that day so he just drifted in and out of the crafting.
3. Let dry. Then, remove the painter’s tape.
4. Fit the poster board to your child’s head and staple (the poster board, not your child’s head).
5. Trace the crown of the hat (the tube) on a paper plate.
6. Cut out the center of the hat and glue or tape it to the top of the crown.
7. Tape or glue the crown of the hat to the brim.
Cause some (wholesome) mischief…but make sure you clean-up after yourself!
Educational Connections:
- Literacy: Use refrigerator magnets or building blocks with painter’s tape to make groups of rhyming words found in the book (for example: mat, cat, hat).
- Mathematics: The bands on the cat’s hat form a pattern. What color would come next? Find other examples of patterns.
- Physical Education: Play a game to see home many objects you can balance on plate. Now see how many you can balance on your head.
- Pro-Social Skills: What games do you play inside? What games can you only play outside? Why? Why is it important to always clean-up after you play?
Thanks so much for this post! My twin kindergartners are having a Dr. Seuss week at school coming up and requested Cat in the Hat hats for Monday’s dress up day. This tutorial saved my day! Thanks again!!!

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass favor.
