Craig loves taking vacations in the summertime! It’s the perfect time to relax and have fun.
Today, we’re reading a fun book called “The Day the Crab Came Home” by Drew Daywalt and Oliver Jeffers. Let’s dive into the story!
One day, Duncan and his crayons were happily coloring when a bunch of postcards arrived in the mail. It was a mystery!
The first postcard was from Maroon Crayon. Maroon Crayon reminded Duncan that he used it once to color a crab. Then, it got lost in the couch, and Duncan’s dad accidentally broke it. Luckily, Paperclip helped Maroon Crayon get better. Now, Maroon Crayon wants Duncan to come and get it.
Next, there was a postcard from Devon the Magnificent, who used to be Pea Green Crayon. Devon decided to change its name and go on an adventure around the world!
Neon Red Crayon also sent a postcard. It reminded Duncan of their fun vacation when they drew a picture of his sunburn. Neon Red Crayon got left behind at the hotel pool and decided to walk back home.
Yellow and Orange Crayons wrote to Duncan too. They used to argue about which one was the color of the sun. But after being left outside and melting together, they didn’t want to be the sun anymore. They just wanted to come home.
Another postcard came from a crayon that wasn’t sure if it was Tan or Burnt Sienna. It had been eaten by a dog and then thrown up on the rug! It asked Duncan to bring it back home.
Neon Red Crayon sent another postcard saying it was almost home after traveling through China, Canada, and France. It was now crossing New Jersey by camel!
Turquoise Crayon wrote to Duncan too. It got stuck to Duncan’s sock after being left in his pocket and going through the dryer. It asked Duncan to come and get it.
Finally, Big Chunky Toddler Crayon, who belonged to Duncan’s baby brother, sent a postcard. It was tired of being bitten, put in the cat’s nose, and used to draw on the wall. It wanted Duncan to rescue it!
Duncan felt sad about all the crayons he had lost, forgotten, or broken. So, he decided to gather them all up. But the crayons were different shapes and sizes now, so they didn’t fit in the crayon box anymore.
Then, Duncan had a great idea! He built a special place where each crayon could feel at home.

Colorful Postcard Creations: Encourage the children to create their own postcards using crayons. Ask them to draw a picture of a place they would like to visit or an adventure they imagine their crayons might go on. Once they finish, have them write a short message on the back, just like the crayons did in the story. This activity helps them practice writing and creativity while connecting with the story.
Crayon Rescue Mission: Set up a small obstacle course or scavenger hunt in the classroom or playground. Hide crayons in different locations and give the children clues to find them. Explain that they are on a mission to rescue the crayons, just like Duncan did. This activity promotes teamwork, problem-solving, and physical activity.
Color and Shape Exploration: Provide the children with a variety of crayons in different shapes and sizes. Ask them to sort the crayons by color and size. Then, encourage them to draw a picture using at least one crayon from each group. Discuss how the different shapes and sizes can create unique effects in their artwork. This activity enhances their understanding of categorization and artistic expression.

Hey, I’m Ryan Lagaan, and I’m Craig Tove. Welcome to Story Time with Ryan! Remember, if you like what you see, click subscribe, give us a like, or leave a comment.
Craig: My favorite time to take a vacation is summertime!
Today’s book is “The Day the Crab Came Home” by Drew Daywalt and Oliver Jeffers. Let’s get started!
One day, Duncan and his crayons were happily coloring together when a strange stack of postcards arrived for him in the mail. Looks like we have a little mystery on our hands!
Dear Duncan, not sure if you remember me. My name is Maroon Crayon. You only colored with me once to dress a crab, but whatever. Anyway, you lost me two years ago in the couch, then your dad sat on me and broke me in half. I never would have survived had Paperclip not nursed me back to health. I’m finally better, so please come get me. Sincerely, your Marooned Crayon.
Dear Duncan, no one likes pea green. So I’m changing my name and running away to see the world. Sincerely, Devon the Magnificent, the crayon formerly known as Pea Green.
Hi Duncan, it’s me, Neon Red Crayon. Remember that great vacation we had with your family? Remember how we laughed when we drew a picture of your sunburn? Remember dropping me by the hotel pool? Clearly, you do not, because I’m still here. After eight months waiting for you to come get me, I guess I’m walking back. Your left behind friend, Neon Red Crayon.
Duncan, it’s us, Yellow and Orange. We know we used to argue over which of us was the color of the sun, but guess what? Neither of us wants to be the color of the sun anymore since we were left outside and the sun melted us together. You can make green the sun for all we care, just bring us home. Your not-so-sunny friends, Yellow and Orange.
Hey Duncan, I’m sure you recognize me after the horrors I’ve been through. I think I was Tan Crayon or maybe Burnt Sienna. I don’t know; I can’t tell anymore. Have you ever been eaten by a dog? Because I have! I have been eaten by a dog and then thrown up on the rug. I’m more carpet than crayon now. Can you please bring me back? Your indigestion friend, Duncan.
Dear Duncan, looks like I’m almost home. I’ve been through China, Canada, and France. Just crossing New Jersey by camel. See you soon, Neon Red Crayon. PS: The next stop is the North Pole!
Hi Duncan, you’re probably wondering why my head is stuck to your sock. Well, it’s because last week you left me in your pocket, and I ended up in the dryer. Can you please come get me? Also, why does everything you wear still smell even after it’s washed? Your stinky sock buddy, Turquoise Crayon. PS: Sock says hi!
Dear Duncan, I know I’m not your crayon. I know I belong to your baby brother. I can’t take it anymore! In the last week alone, he’s bitten the top of my head, put me in the cat’s nose, drawn on the wall, and tried to color garbage with me. The worst part is he is a terrible artist! Please rescue me, your distressed friend, Big Chunky Toddler Crayon.
Duncan was sad to learn of all the crayons he’d lost, forgotten, broken, or neglected over the years. So he ran around gathering them up, but Duncan’s crayons were also damaged and differently shaped than they used to be, so they no longer fit in the crayon box. Duncan had an idea!
Duncan built a place where each crayon would always feel at home.
