Dr. Seuss is one of our favorite authors! After reading his classic books, we love to create crafts for kids that are inspired by his stories like The Lorax Paper Plate Craft and Homemade Oobleck.
Today, we read The Sleep Book. In the story, a small bug named Van Vleck is getting sleepy. His yawn makes everyone around him yawn and sleepy too. After reading this very silly story, we created Van Vleck and The Sleep Book Paper Plate Craft.
Supplies for The Sleep Book Paper Plate Craft:
- Paper Plate
- Yellow Paint
- Paint Brush
- Yellow Curling Ribbon
- Yellow Construction Paper
- White Construction Paper
- Glue
- Scissors
- Black Pom Pom
- Black Marker
Directions for The Sleep Book Paper Plate Craft:
- Paint the paper plate with the yellow paint.
- Cut two ovals out of the yellow and white construction paper.
- Fold the yellow ovals in half and glue them onto the top of the white ovals.
- Glue the ovals on the center of the paper plate for the eyes.
- Draw a half circle on the white ovals for the pupils.
- Glue the black pom pom in the middle of the paper plate for the nose.
- Glue the curling ribbon on the back of the paper plate so the ribbon sticks out of the top for the hair.
- Draw a mouth at the bottom of the paper plate with the marker.
Making fun, book-inspired crafts like The Sleep Book Paper Plate Craft encourages children to read, retell the story, and create.
