Check out this adorable and super easy Dr Seuss themed snack idea! Perfect for a birthday party, school celebration, or even just a rainy day. This Cat in the Hat Pizza will make a great addition to your menu.

Dr Seuss Day is held annually on March 2nd.

Traditionally on this day, many schools across the country celebrate author Dr Seuss (whose birthday was on March 2nd). From dress up days that coincide with Dr Seuss book themes to fun Dr Seuss snacks and crafts, this is usually a pretty big deal in many elementary schools!

My kids always have a bunch of different Dr Seuss themed activities going on in their school, especially during late February/early March. Have you checked out the Dr Seuss Book Club deal? I have always loved that one for baby shower gifts, birthday gifts, etc.

Today’s new post is all about PIZZA!

Cat in the Hat Themed Snack Idea

Dr Seuss books have created some pretty iconic symbols that most people associate with their stories. One of, if not the, most iconic symbol is the big, billowy red and white striped hat that the main character (a cat) wears in the book Cat in the Hat.

Did you see the craft post I published for a DIY Cat in the Hat Hat made out of a red Solo party cup? So cute!
