3rd • THE GRINCH WHO STOLE BREAKFAST

The Grinch Who Stole Breakfast puts a mischievous twist on morning meals, inspired by Dr. Seuss’s classic story. With green-themed foods and silly activities, this day is a lighthearted nod to the lovable grouch who learns the true meaning of Christmas.

  1. GRINCHY GREEN FEAST: Serve green eggs and ham, spinach pancakes, or avocado toast. Add green food coloring to milk for an extra touch. Label the dishes with Grinch-themed names like “Who-ville Waffles” or “Grinch Grits.”

  2. GRINCH COSTUME CONTEST: Encourage kids to dress like the Grinch, Cindy Lou Who, or other characters. Offer simple craft supplies to make Grinchy eyebrows or a Who-ville hairdo.

  3. STEAL-THE-FOOD GAME: Set up a playful “Grinch raid” where the Grinch (a parent or older sibling) pretends to “steal” breakfast items. Kids must retrieve the food through fun challenges, like solving a riddle or completing a mini obstacle course.

  4. GRINCH STORYTIME & MOVIE MORNING: Read the classic book aloud, then watch the animated or live-action adaptation together. Create a comfy Who-ville-inspired viewing area with blankets and pillows.

  5. GRINCHY GRATITUDE LETTERS: After breakfast, help kids write thank-you notes to people who make their lives brighter, just as the Whos taught the Grinch about kindness.
