Featuring Wacky Wednesday by Dr Seuss we have 5 fun, simple and easy activities for you and your preschoolers to do whilst we go a little bit crazy. Having fun as you read, play, create and learn is the best way to build a strong foundation for a love of learning with your child so go ahead and be a little mad this week. Don't forget to scroll down and visit our Dr Seuss Pinterest board as well as check out our other recommend Dr Seuss books for preschoolers and you to read together.

Virtual Book Club for Kids Featured Book Wacky Wednesday by Dr Seuss

We have included Amazon links to the books we recommend. If you purchase via the books we may earn a small commission.

This week's featured book for preschoolers is Wacky Wednesday by Dr Seuss. With funny rhymes and get iSpy finds for each page you can have fun reading this classic Dr Seuss book together.

It's a slightly longer book and you can extend it by looking for the strange things on each page so if your preschooler isn't one to sit and read together them split it up into smaller sections and read it over the week.

Dr Seuss Themed Activities for a Week of Wacky Fun with your Preschoolers

This week although we recommend Wacky Wednesday as our featured book this week we are featuring activities based around many of the Dr Seuss Books - you could of course read each of the books connected with the activity or find them to watch as well as an extension of the day's activities.

With the weekly plan we have 5 simple activities that you can choose from. Some of our community do an activity per day, others choose to do just 1 in the week. Some of the members of the Virtual Book Club for Kids Facebook Group also hold a weekly play date where they do their favourite activities all at once.

This weekly plan is just one idea - having the sensory activity first it means that it is possible to have it set up for the week ahead and your children can return to it time and time again to play.

If however, you want more preschool activities for the theme or featured book then scroll down further and you will find a link to our Dr Seuss Pinterest Board which is full of hands-on fun ways to learn, create and play.
