Ask anyone under the age of six who their favorite author is, and there's a good chance that they'd answer with an enthusiastic "Dr. Seuss!". With the bright illustrations, strange characters, and silly rhymes, every little kid loves to read classic Dr. Seuss stories again and again. There's a certain way that Seuss magically captures everything from day-to-day events to holiday celebrations.

For instance, the way Dr. Seuss deals with a boring rainy day. Two kids are moping because they can’t play outside, and all of a sudden, the Cat in the Hat shows up, and their day gets a lot more interesting. We've never flown a kite indoors, but the Cat in the Hat sure makes it look fun! Then Thing One and Thing Two show up, and you have to wonder how you can make that kind of fun happen in your own life.

Well, it's not that hard to bring that energy home with you, actually. Get groovy at your next costumed event with our Cat in the Hat costumes. We have Dr. Seuss costumes on every different level. There are black and white Cat in the Hat jumpsuits for infants, kids, and adults. Looking for something more casual? We have easy, peasy sets with striped hats, red bowties, and white double-thumbed gloves. The same goes for our hilarious Thing One and Thing Two costumes.

Want a fun costume to wear for a holiday parade or Christmas party? It'll be a really good time when you're heading out as the Grinch. Take it to whatever level you want. We have professional-level Grinch costumes that include a mask, Santa suit, and big furry gloves. And we have the accessories for everything in between! Slip a Grinch hat on your head before you head out for an everyday cold-weather look. Heading out to a party? Put your own ensemble together with Grinch leg warmers, masks, and green gloves.

And hey, let's not forget about the guy who speaks for the trees, The Lorax. Are you heading out for an Arbor or Earth Day event? You'll enjoy wearing our Lorax hat so people know who you stand with! There are plenty of reasons to dive into our Dr. Seuss costumes. You could even give a Cat in the Hat set to your favorite librarian or teacher!

You can even bring out a costume for story time or Read Across America events. What better way to celebrate the years of inspiration these books have provided for kids than by celebrating the author’s birthday? Get ready for “Hats Off to Reading” events with your own Seuss-inspired hat!

Dr. Seuss Character Costumes

The world of Seuss is a wild and colorful one. He didn’t care about the rules of reason. In The Cat in the Hat, he thought nothing of turning the monotony of a rainy day into a wild and colorful adventure. Sure, Sally and Conrad might have been hoping for something different to keep them occupied but they could have never guessed what kind of rowdy visitor would show up at their door.

It’s no wonder that kids and adults alike want to dress as Dr. Seuss’s outlandish creatures: they are vibrant, unique, and they often misbehave. It’s not too bad to get in touch with your mischievous side if kids are learning to love to read at the same time! Exploring the stories that the good Dr. created gives children their first glimpse at where they can end up when their nose is in a book. And we’re not just talking about Oh, the Places You’ll Go. Most of his stories contain intriguing winding roads, wild trees that curl and flower in unpredictable ways, and houses that look like they were molded from clay. Once kids see Seuss’s worlds come to life in their classrooms or at a birthday party they just might wonder what other magic could hide within the pages of a book!

So, throw on one of these costumes and get into character. You simply can’t remain serious when you’re wearing bright stripes and dressed as a cat! The world that Dr. Seuss created is just as interesting and imagination-stimulating as when he published Horton Hears a Who! in the fifties. Now, if only he had written a book about getting library books back on time, because it won’t be long until these kids are flocking to the shelves to read themselves into a fresh adventure!

Whether you’re a teacher celebrating World Book Day or you’re putting together some quick and easy Dr. Seuss costumes for a Seussian birthday party, the costumes you see below will bring Seuss’s characters to life! Maybe you’re taking on the Lorax’s mission of speaking for the trees. Or perhaps you’re highlighting how much fun a rainy day can be with the simple Cat in the Hat accessory kit. No matter which look you’re going for, your day is sure to be full of rhyming fun! Now, let’s see if you can talk in verse for the whole day. Just kidding, we wouldn’t want you to start sprouting Seussian eyebrows and balancing fishbowls and clocks. Didn’t you know that’s what happens when you rhyme too much?

Lorax Costume

Lorax Costume

The Lorax is a treasured character of tree-huggers everywhere and an important part of the Seussian repertoire.  After all, who doesn’t love the trees and all they do for us? The Lorax reminds us to protect our natural resources, even if the fluffy trees are the key to getting rich. Money doesn’t produce oxygen or give us shade. And no matter how high those stacks go, money is not nearly as picturesque as a forest of Truffula trees.  The message of The Lorax is as relevant today as it was in the seventies when Seuss published it. It’s not any wonder why people love representing the little yellow fellow in costume. While it’s great to break out for Arbor Day, Earth Day, not to mention Seuss events, this Lorax hoodie hat doesn’t need to be reserved for special reading events or Halloween. You can rock this look whenever the weather is chilly. The trees always need a spokesperson, after all!

Cat in the Hat Costume

So, the next time the kids in your classroom are feeling down, lighten the cloudy atmosphere with this Cat in the Hat accessory kit. The lightweight hat and gloves with the wild bowtie can be thrown on in a matter of seconds, making it perfect for representing your local library in a parade or some impromptu dress up when you sense your charges are feeling a little bored.

We hope our rhyming hasn’t sent you into a rage.

Doing this whole thing in rhyme would be a true feat.

So like when you’re looking for a prescription concoctor,

When you’re looking for rhymes, leave it to the doctor.

We do, however, know a lot about dress up,

And while our looks might be hard to mess up,
