Seriously, how cute is this Dr. Seuss Party Hat craft? It sits perfectly on your head but showcases the love for all things Dr. Seuss quite well.

Dr. Seuss day is on March 2nd, and to celebrate this year we made our very own red and white striped hat just like the one from The Cat in The Hat

You might even have all these simple supplies already handy at home, too. With less than 5 supplies needed, it’s an easy craft for kids that they’ll be able to create on their own. (with adult supervision, of course!)

This next step offers a couple of options on how to do it. Just choose which one based on the age of your child.

For smaller children, punch a hole on each side of the inner circle for the elastic cording.

Next, wrap the cup with two lines of tape. This is creating the “hat” look of The Cat and the Hat.

Lastly, take and place the plate over the cup and secure it with tape on the underside of the plate. (I use about 4-5 pieces to keep it secure. Don’t take the chance of it breaking!)
