Hello, friends! I’m so glad you’re here for Story Time with Ryan. Today, we’re going to read a fun book called “The Day the Crayons Quit” by Drew Daywalt and Oliver Jeffers. Are you ready for a colorful adventure? Let’s dive in!
One day, a boy named Duncan went to get his crayons for art class. But instead of just finding his crayons, he found a bunch of letters with his name on them. What do you think those letters said? Well, they were from his crayons, and they had something important to tell him!
Each crayon wrote a letter to Duncan. They were feeling a bit upset and wanted to share their feelings. Let’s find out what some of the crayons had to say:
As Duncan read each letter, he realized that his crayons had feelings too. They wanted to be used in different ways and needed a little rest sometimes. Duncan decided to listen to his crayons and use them in new and fun ways.
Just like Duncan, you can use your crayons to create amazing art. Try using different colors for things you wouldn’t normally think of. Maybe a purple sun or a green ocean! Your imagination is the limit.
We learned that it’s important to listen to others, even our crayons! Everyone and everything has a story to tell. By being creative and thoughtful, we can make the world a more colorful place.
Thanks for joining Story Time with Ryan. Remember, you can always ask questions or share your own stories. Happy coloring!
Crayon Adventure Walk: Take a walk around your home or school and look for colors that match your crayons. Can you find something red like the red crayon? How about something blue or yellow? Make a list or draw a picture of the colorful things you find. This will help you see how colors are used in the world around you!
Create Your Own Crayon Story: Imagine if your crayons could talk like in the story. Pick a crayon and write a short letter from its point of view. What would it say to you? Is it happy, tired, or excited? Share your crayon’s story with a friend or family member.
Color Mix Experiment: Gather some crayons and a piece of paper. Try mixing two colors together to see what new color you can create. For example, what happens when you color blue over yellow? Can you make a new color for the sun or the ocean? Experiment and see what fun combinations you can discover!
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:
