Celebrate the iconic Seuss character with these cute Cat in the Hat crafts for kids! Use toilet paper rolls, paper plates, printables and more!

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the name ‘Dr. Seuss‘? It’ll be different for different people, but for me, it’s always the red and white striped hat of the Cat in the Hat!

Dr. Seuss has created many iconic quirky characters, but one of the most popular ones is definitely the Cat in the Hat. He’s so famous that he’s the face of Seuss enterprises today!

With Dr. Seuss’ birthday coming up, we think a great way to honor the man would be to read his books, watch some movies and of course, make some crafts! Here are 10 adorable Cat in the Hat crafts that are perfect for kids of all ages.
