The kids have been talking about Dr. Seuss for a few days now. I knew that they would be doing activities related to his birthday at school. I was tempted to celebrate at home too, but then I decided to celebrate National Read Across America Day.....which happens to be on the same day.
And then, thanks to FamilyFun (which I am grateful for), I got the idea for the invites.
Family fun has ones that you can just print off, but since there is a lack of printers in my house I made some by hand. They are meant to look like the old library cards we had when I was a kid.
And then they got to each sign up for a library card (there is a template for these you can print off too at FamilyFun).
They had to read a minimum of 4 books and for each book got a stamp on their card. My kids don't really fight having to read. But this time I made it even more fun by giving them a small prize if they got all 4 stamps on their card.
Another idea I got from that website are these fun 'book worms' that the girls loved to eat while reading.
Hurray for reading! =)

How fun! I think I still have some of those old library book cards from my year as a library clerk at the elementary school.
You are one fun momma!
what is your book worm.
It is a rice cripsy treat. The ones on FamilyFun are a lot more fancy than mine.
Um, my library here in TX STILL uses those cards. I couldn't believe it! :)
What a fun thing you did! I like that part of Dr Seuss day the best, personally. I LOVE the bookworm!
What fun things you did for your girls! I love the library cards.
