After one of my pals threw a “Grinch Day” last Friday, I knew I had to have one, too! I immediately started planning, and realized I had too many ideas to squeeze into one day… so I started today!!
I found an adorable Grinch craft idea at The First Grade Parade {and Cara found it here} so I recreated the pattern to use in my classroom. I also had my kiddos complete a writing prompt. Now our hallway has been “Grinched!” Below are a couple examples from our display!
To make the Grinch grin I would…
…invite him to a tea party and tickle him.
A tea party?! That makes me giggle!
…like to give him my cupcake and tell him funny jokes.
Forget the Grinch, I’ll take the cupcake!! hehe 🙂
Some of my littles didn’t get a chance to finish today, but I thought these were particularly adorable Grinches:
They can finish up tomorrow!
If you’re planning a Grinch Day and would like a copy of the writing prompt, you can grab it for free {HERE}.

The Grinch pattern is very simple to make… here is an image I spotted on Pinterest that will help you {I substituted five white circles for the hat’s cuff}:

Love the idea of a "Grinchy" day. I have 3rd, 4th and 5th graders this year and am very nervous about the idea of a Polar Express day the day before break… I think a Grinchy day will fit the bill just fine 🙂
