Dr. Seuss Magnets

February 18, 2013 By Colleen Jorgenson 2 Comments

Dr-Seuss DIY magnets

There are times in life

It’s truer than true

Things don’t go your way

And you wish you weren’t you

Dr-Seuss-magnets-1

You think you can draw

maybe one fish or two

paint them real quick

add a magnet with glue

Dr-Seuss-magnets-2

A project in one day?

oh no, not you

what were you thinking

have you gone cuckoo?

Dr-Seuss-magnets-3

The hour grows late

the day it just flew

there’s simply not time

to do what you do.

 

Dr-Seuss-magnets-6

Nothing is working

not cardboard not glue

it doesn’t look right

this might look like poo

 

one fish two fish

With haste you add paint

red, green and blue

each color brings magic

and also a Phew!

 

Dr-Seuss-magnets-11

Isn’t this fun

says your Self to you

painting the fishes

of fun Dr. Seuss

Dr-Seuss-magnets-12

This isn’t so bad

first one fish then two

I wonder if he had

troubling days too

 

Dr-Seuss-magnets-13

If he did or did not

I haven’t a clue

My day frought with challenge

is now bright ‘cause of Seuss

 

Dr-Seuss-magnets-20

There are times in life

It’s truer than true

Things don’t go your way

But you’re so glad you’re you!


Make Your Own Magnet Reading Primer

I made these magnets as a matching ‘game’ for my grandson in kindergarten. He can match the written words to the Seuss drawings, improving his sight reading.

To make your own magnets you’ll need:

  • Seuss printables of your choice
  • cardstock or watercolor paper
  • colored foam sheets
  • magnet ‘tape’
  • Sharpie marker

Cut out your printables, cardstock and foam sheet in circle shapes. Glue the printable to cardstock. Cut a small piece of self-adhesive magnet tape and attach to the back of the cardstock.

Write chosen working on foam sheets. Attach piece of magnet to the back.

That’s it! Of course, if you’d like to paint your own Seuss images, I highly recommend it. It can turn your frown upside down.

I’ll be making printables later today. Yesterday was a long day, in case you hadn’t guessed that already.


Join my friends and me in celebrating the joy Dr. Seuss books and characters bring to all.

    late in the day – no rhyme I’m afraid
    but
    Awesome! You are very clever! Now I will take your idea and add it to our week of Seuss mania – making it preschool-able : )
