Dr. Seuss books are some of the best books for little children! They’re engaging, help with vocabulary and help kids develop a love of reading.

If you’ve already read The Cat in the Hat, The Lorax, and Horton Hears a Who, then Put Me in the Zoo is the next book you should read to the kiddos.

It’s a great story about finding out who you are and where you belong!

Once you’re done with that, make this cute paper bag Put Me In The Zoo craft with the kids. It’s an easy Dr. Seuss craft that comes with a free printable template.

This activity is great for young children to make at home or at school. Watch our quick video tutorial to see exactly how to make it!
