Happy Birthday Dr Seuss: Reading Party
Today's post is sure to have you smiling. It's just the thing we needed after a weekend full of rainbows and little men in green. Dr Seuss just celebrated his 109th birthday. Check out this adorable celebration of a creative mind and author.Amber Bowden is the darling mother behind the blog Bowden Party 365. This momma sure knows how to throw a party! Her blog is filled with darling little details from her fanciful fete's. Everything from superheros to garden parties can be found gracing the pages of her virtual diary. We love that Amber spares no details when planning an event, which is something that we here at DLD take note of. She finds the greatest excuses to make amazing memories for her littles ones. We adore that! That's why when we saw this animated Dr. Seuss party, we knew we had to share with our readers!Here are some notes from Amber:"It's always fun to use Dr. Seuss as an excuse to celebrate reading on his birthday and get a few new books to add to our collection. Our little breakfast party wasn't quite as extravagant as last year's Green Eggs and Ham party, but the kids still loved it! We had fun eating Seuss food, reading Dr. Seuss books and watching a couple of the Dr. Seuss book short films. The Dr. Seuss book look-alike cookies were probably the biggest hit with the kids. They sorted through all the cookies and set aside their favorite titles for themselves to eat (luckily they have different favorites!)."
I stocked up on Dr. Seuss crafts at Michael's during clearance time.
These little Dr. Seuss book sugar cookies were SO simple to make! I simply printed the images of the books I wanted to make and then took the print out to Publix to have them print it on their edible paper. It does cost about $8 a sheet and I fit 8 book covers on each page. I cut the sugar cookies based on the book cover size, frosted with royal icing and placed the printed image on while the icing was still wet.
Thank you so much for sharing with us Amber! To see more of Amber's party inspirations, head on over to her blog or check her out on Instagram @amberlbowden.
