Looking for Dr. Seuss??

Are you looking for printables to use in your classroom, at home, or in your daycare to celebrate the birthday of Dr. Seuss??  Maybe you just want some fun activities to keep the kids busy on the weekend or after school.  No matter the reason, I have what you need!!

I have lots of free printables to share with you.  In some of the links that I’m about to post, you might find some duplicates, but many won’t be.  Just take your time and browse around!!

On my blog, Commotion from the Ocean of Life, you’ll find a bunch of stuff for “Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss“.  Once upon a time, that’s where I used to share all my printables that I created!!

Next, some of you might remember the “Seuss-icle Followers Contest” that I held right here on this blog.  This contest lasted a week and I offered freebies each day.  Here you can find each of those posts and see just what I offered each day.

With luck and time, I’ll be creating some new materials this week.  Things have just been crazy busy and I’m barely keeping my head above the water right now!!  Keep your eyes open though and hopefully you’ll see something new featuring Dr. Seuss coming your way!!

Fishing Penguins Count Their Catch

I have a new freebie for you today and it was created for a request from one of my group members.  She wanted a counting activity with penguins, so here it is!!

These are a set of counting mats from 0-20.  They feature adorable fishing penguins.  To make it fun and rewarding, use Goldfish Crackers to count out the number of fish that each penguin caught.  If you don’t want to do that, I included some printable Goldfish Crackers or you could use another manipulative such as fish erasers.  Each mat has the numeral and number word.

Here’s a thumbnail view of the mats in this set….
