Our PlayLearning theme this week is Dr Seuss and a touch of World Book Day, we have a few books waiting to be read, so we’re going to work through them this week. We are also huge Dr Seuss fans, and Ameli particularly loves them for bed time stories, so Dr Seuss is a great theme for us to repeat again, despite having done it once before already.
Because of the multitude of Dr Seuss stories, there’s so much to do in this theme, it’s rather brilliant.

There’s so much Dr Seuss stuff out there, that it’s hard to know what’s worth spending money on. We don’t have a definitive list by any means, but here are some of our favourites:
The Lorax Pop Up (US) – A beautiful pop up version of the story, with really funky interactive bits.
A Classic Case of Dr Seuss (US) – A case of books. We have this one. Ameli loves it.
I Can Do That Card Game (US) – A fun little card game, especially for a group of children.
