Using a Felt Board with the book "The Lorax"

Hello everyone! The book The Lorax discusses the dangers of pollution to the planet and to a human's personal health. Throughout the story Dr. Seuss only let's us reader's see parts of the Once-ler (eyes and hands). For this activity you could use a felt board in the classroom as you are reading the book to the children. This is an easy way for all the children to be able to visualize what the Lorax looks like since every child will not be able to see the small pictures in the book. After you are finished reading the book to the children, you can ask the students what they imagine the rest of the Once-ler to look like? Then, brainstorm ideas and have each student on their own draw what they think he/she would look like.

Below I have a picture of the felt board activity I have made for the students with the Lorax.
