Put your quilling skills to use with these Quilled Paper Truffula Trees! Use this craft as an accompaniment to the famous book, ‘The Lorax’, by Dr Seuss.

You must have heard of The Lorax, right? If not the book, at least the movie? Well, in that case, you need no introduction to what Truffula trees are!

In case you don’t know, Truffula trees are what the Lorax sets out to save, when industrialization threatens to take over his land. Yes, like other Seuss books, this one’s quite deep too!

With Dr Seuss’ day coming up, it’s only fair to bring out our Seuss favorites like Horton hears a Who or One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish. And since Lorax is among these, we’re celebrating by making these pretty quilled paper Truffula trees!
