Looking for a fun way to celebrate Read Across America Day?
Then you’ll love these free printable Dr. Seuss hats that feature The Lorax, Thing 1 & Thing 2, and Horton from Horton Hears A Who.
On March 2nd, kids across the United States will celebrate Dr. Seuss’s birthday and National Read Across America Day.
We love how schools get young kids excited about reading by doing fun activities and having a party for Dr. Seuss. It brings the same excitement for birthday parties and merges it with literacy and learning.
To go along with that spirit, we created these free printable Dr. Seuss headbands to go along with the celebration! They’re super simple to make – either print the free resources in black and white to color in or print in full color.
Make these then check out all of our Dr. Seuss crafts for kids for more fun!
Dr. Seuss Hats Printable
The goal when we created these Dr. Seuss character headbands was simply to bring a smile to kids’ faces and have them become passionate about reading (or being read to!).
We hope these hats also bring excitement for reading into your home or classroom. They’re perfect for some family fun and would be a great way to celebrate Dr. Seuss’ birthday!
And come on, just look at how cute the Lorax is. How adorable would this Dr. Seuss headband look on your child’s head?!
Just print out these Dr. Seuss hat craft templates and attach the headband strips to the left and right side of the hat. You can use some tape or hot glue to secure them in place.
We like to keep the headbands adjustable, so only attach one end of each strip to the hat and then use paper clips to fasten them around your kid’s head.
Dr. Seuss Template Notes
Inside the free printable template, we’ve included two hat headband options.
Originally, we only had the full-color versions available. We imagined parents and teachers would simply print them out, cut them, and assemble them so the kids could wear them on Dr. Seuss Day.
But, as time went on we received more and more requests to have them in black and white. That wasn’t something we thought of, but it was a great idea!
Now, we have a black-and-white version as well so kids can color in the headbands and you can save your ink. Just print them onto white craft paper and have your little ones color them in. Having both options is great for adaptive learning and allows for personalization!
Whichever way you decide to print them out, we’re sure they’ll be a huge hit. Don’t forget to enter your email in the form at the end of this page to get your free instant downloads!
What To Wear For Dr. Seuss Day
There are so many fun ways to bring the whimsical world of Dr. Seuss to life on this special day! Along with our adorable character headbands, you can encourage your kids to dress up as their favorite Dr. Seuss character, whether it’s the Cat in the Hat, Thing 1 and Thing 2, or the Lorax.
You can also have them wear bright and colorful clothes, just like the illustrations in his books! This is a super simple and easy way to celebrate the day without any extra planning or preparation.
These Dr. Seuss shirts for kids tick all the boxes – they’re fun, colorful, and feature quotes and images straight from the books. We love how they can be worn all year round, too, not just on Dr. Seuss Day. Your kiddos will love showing off their love for Dr. Seuss with these cute T-shirts!

I tried printing it out on 8×10 paper it would not work. Any suggestions? Thank you,
Bethany
Uh oh! What do you mean by would not work? We print all of our things on standard 8.5″x11″ printer paper.
@Bethany, What’s not working? I don’t understand. If it’s a printing problem, that’s hard to troubleshoot since it’s individualized.
