Crayon themed books, such as The Crayon Box that Talked and My Crayons Talk, are among LM’s favorites.
The Crayon Box that Talked is written by Shane DeRolf. After hearing, a box of crayon squabble, a little girl decides to buy the box and teach them a great lesson about being unique and getting along.
My Crayons Talk is written by Patricia Hubbard with wonderful illustrations by G. Brian Karas. This little girl in the story has quite the imagination which comes alive through her crayons.
And we can’t forget about little Harold…This classic written over 50 years ago, is still loved by children today!
After reading the stories, have fun with one or more of the learning activities below…
1. Printable story props from Kidz Club
2. Back to School Activity from First Grade to the Core
