Celebrate Dr. Seuss and Your Favorite Books with these Adorable Homemade Costumes

Last year the boys had a Dr. Seuss dress up day at school to celebrate Dr. Seuss's birthday.  Since it is time to celebrate again I thought I would share their costumes.

Our oldest decided to dig this homemade GACK costume out of the costume dress-up box.

He wore this years ago when he was in preschool and was still able to fit into it.  

We made a new Green Eggs and Ham costume for our second son.  Mostly my husband who is quite artistic made this costume.  He painted cardboard to look like a skillet, then we made a form for the green ham.  I think we made it out of newspaper covered with green tissue paper.  The eggs are made of white paper with green tissue paper yolks.  The eggs and ham were taped to the board with packing tape and stayed on really well.  They survived a whole school day and I think we still have this costume somewhere.  

The yarn holding the costume up was taped to the back of the board and broke during the school day so he didn't wear it the whole day, but I think he made it through the hallway parade.  He loved this costume and it was a fun project.  

The boys had such fun being a part of the Dr. Seuss birthday celebration.  Get ready to celebrate with your favorite Dr. Seuss stories on March 2nd!
