The Day the Crayons Quit Activities

February 25, 2015 by Meredith @ Homegrown Friends

Hooray!  Preschool Book Club is back and we are kicking off this round with one of my favorite books The Day the Crayons Quit by Drew Daywalt.  The story begins with a boy opening his crayon box to discover a stack of letters from an upset box of crayons.  Each crayon writes a letter to the boy sharing his feelings.  The boy reads the letters, listening to the point of view of the crayons and then makes some changes.  So many opportunities for exploring this book through play!   Check out 5 The Day the Crayons Quit Activities.
