Green Eggs & Ham Printable Worksheet

Dr. Seuss Day is March 2, so celebrate with this Green Eggs and Ham printable coloring worksheet! This worksheet is designed for children preschool through second grade to help practice their coloring and cutting skills.

Why We Love It

Green Eggs and Ham is one of the most loved and celebrated of all of Dr. Seuss’ many children’s books. It tells the story of Sam-I-am, a cat who offers a plate of green eggs and ham to his little friend.

The friend is adamant that he does NOT like green eggs and ham. He doesn’t like them in any situation, for any reason, in any place, and goes on to explain all of those situations. But when he finally tries the green eggs and ham, well… he actually really likes them. 

We’d often quote Sam-I-am whenever our picky kids refused to try a new food. And it really helped! They’d smile, remembering their favorite book and the story.

We’d say, “You do not like them. So you say. Try them! Try them! And you may!” And it worked… sometimes.

Ingredients

• Eggs
• Spinach
• Milk or water
• Butter or oil
• Back Bacon OR Sliced Ham

How to Make it

1. First, add the spinach to your blender. Pulse to break it down a bit. Next, add your eggs and milk. Blend on low just until fully combined.
2. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the oil or butter. Pour in the egg mixture from the blender. As it cooks, use a spatula to pull the eggs away from the sides, letting the egg mixture fill in. Continue until the soft scrambled eggs and set, about 3-4 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper. 
3. Heat a separate skillet over medium-high heat. Add the back bacon or ham slices, and cook for about 1-2 minutes per side, just until crisped up. 
4. Serve the bacon and the ham on a plate, and serve with a side of juice and a reading of Green Eggs and Ham!
