We are amazed at the creativity that went into making this lopsided birthday cake for the quirky author! Similar to creating a snowman, begin by cutting out each layer of the cake (a combination of rectangles and squares in various sizes) from white bulletin board paper. Next, create the \"icing\" decorations using the newly created cake pieces to make correct measurements. You'll need a 2\" strip of red construction or bulletin board paper with a scalloped edge for each layer as well as a 4\" strip of white construction or bulletin board paper with a curled fringe edge (fringed pieces should be 1\" wide and about 2\" long). While it may seem counter-intuitive, begin by assembling the cake's top layer first - adding the base, then attaching the detailing so that the red scalloped paper sticks out from beneath the curled white fringe. Attach the second and third layers the same way. 2) The Candles. Create birthday candles to add to each layer of the cake. Either create a traceable template from card stock or find a black and white clip art image that can be printed directly onto colored construction paper. Along with the small candles, fashion one large candle for the very top of the cake by cutting a toilet paper roll in half, decorating the outside with shiny blue paper (or painting it with metallic blue paint), and stuffing yellow cellophane or saran wrap into the top. 3) The Book Jackets. Decorate the rest of the board with Dr. Seuss book covers. Use actual covers or print and laminate pictures found online.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis board, with its lopsided cake and quirky candles, is perfect for celebrating the life and works of Dr. Seuss!

Use markers to add detailing to the leaves. 2) The Very Hungry Caterpillar. The original caterpillar looks textured, but you could also make a simple cutout from background paper. Start with a full cutout of the caterpillar body {freehand it onto a piece of light green background paper or use your classroom projector system to enlarge and trace a clip art image}. Divide the cutout into sections (like those on the body of a caterpillar) and, using the book cover as a guide, plan which sections will be light green, dark green, and turquoise. Cut, trace, and replace the dark green and turquoise sections on the cutout, or fashion a piece of colored construction paper to be glued directly to the cutout. Create the caterpillar head {an oval with antennae cut from red paper} and add facial detailing - green and yellow circle eyes and a blue nose. Add some feet and your very hungry caterpillar is ready to be attached to the board. 3) The Extras. The original creator filled in the extra spaces with other critters and 'twigs'. Add some construction paper ladybug, butterfly, worm, and other colorful cutouts where needed.

Find an inexpensive plastic tablecloth or shower curtain at your local home store, cutting it in half and stapling the pieces to the top of the board. To create a true curtain feel, use yarn or a piece of painter's tape to gather and tie the pieces off to the side. 3) The House. Cut a large oval from yellow bulletin board paper, using a black marker to draw several lines around the edge to create a \"rug\". Attach the rug to the wall under the bulletin board. Cut two simple \"chairs\" from red bulletin board paper, then use your classroom projector system and clip art images {found online} to trace character shapes - Dick and Sally - onto black bulletin board paper.

Cut the train engine shape from brown bulletin board paper (a simple rectangle with a square on top), cutting a window and adding a rectangle smokestack, a cow pusher (the grate on the front of the train), and wheels to the cutout. Think of a fun name for your train. Lori used \"Bubbles \u0026amp; Bunnytails EXPRESS\" because the display was located in the hallway and that was the procedure that students followed when going places - catch a \u003cem\u003ebubble\u003c\/em\u003e in your mouth (ensures quiet) and make a \u003cem\u003ebunnytail\u003c\/em\u003e (ensures that students keep their hands behind their backs, not touching other students or things in the hallway). For a finishing touch, cut puffs of smoke from white construction or background paper. To go along with the reading theme, you might also consider adding a cutout of the Cat's hat to the smokestack like Lori did. It adds a nice pop of color and is a great Dr. Seuss accent! 2) The Train Cars. Use 9\" x 12\" sheets of construction paper in assorted colors to create the train cars. Add a brown stripe, as well as a student's name, to each train car. It looks like Lori used the letter negatives created using a personal cutting\/die cut machine, but you could also use letter stickers. Add wheels to each car and connect them using pieces of brown yarn.

The original creator used silk windmill flowers - which would create a fun 3D effect - but if you don't have any, you can also create colorful flower cutouts using paper and a few art supplies. As with the flower pots, we suggest either drawing the shapes onto card stock or finding a template online (there are a plethora of them!) to print directly onto the paper or trace and cut.
