Backpocket Wisdom

Well, we are back with some new fun facts to impress your kids with, this month with a focus on artists' birthdays!


Dr Seuss,
( 3/2/04)- put a hat on your cat and celebrate! To learn about Read Across America, visit Seussville!
Michelangelo
, (3/6/1475)-paint on a sheet of paper (or parchment if you so desire!) and then once it's dry hang it on the ceiling! For rolls of paper, check out Melissa and Doug's brand page!
Vincent Van Gogh (3/30/1853) -plant your sunflower seeds inside to transfer in the spring! For tips, visit the Sunflower Stop!
Our Backpocket question of the month: In 1996, a famous American artist wrote and directed a movie about another artist's life- can you name both artists?
And congratulations to Yari for knowing her presidential pets last month- the correct answer to "What is George W. Bush's terrier's name?" is Barney! Bravo!!!
