In today's fast paced Internet driven world there is not much that can not be found online.  Parents and teachers alike are turning to the Internet to provide them with a range of tools to aid in the education and entertainment of today's child.  Over the last fifty odd years Dr Seuss has been creating unusual and exciting worlds to encourage and entice children into reading.  So it only seems natural to search for Dr Seuss activities online.

The best place to start with anything Dr Seuss is Seussville.com. Here you can discover a whole world of interactive and printable fun.  There are over 100 activities to choose from, many of which can be downloaded and printed out.  Activities include colouring in pages, simple addition and subtraction sheets, recipes, puzzles, mazes, word games, as well as art and craft activities. Plenty to keep children occupied and learning at the same time.

Activities can be sorted according to the story they relate to with over 40 books to choose from.  Alternatively they can be listed according to the type of activity.  Which really makes Seussville.com a one stop site.  It is also possible to search for a particular character and then activities which involve them.  There is also specific information for carers and teachers to enable you to get the most out of each sheet.

If however you do not find what you are looking for at Seussville other great sites featuring Dr Seuss printable activities include apples4theteacher.com.  Again all the activities are sorted according to the book they relate to most with all the most popular titles featured.  There is a range of colouring in pages as well as specific activities targeting a classroom, which can easily be adapted to suit home as well.

About.com has a family craft section with links to a few colouring in pages and more can be found at mrsjonesroom.com however some of the links found on these pages end up linking back to Seussville.  Mrs Jones also offers some great hints and tips on how to expand your Dr Seuss experience.

The final site worth recommending is abcteach.com.  Again this is primarily targeted at teachers but there is no reason why parents can't use it as well.  While there are charges for some activities there are plenty of free ones as well.
