Crayon Craft Activity

Are you looking for a craft to pair with “The Crayon Box that Talked,” by Shane Derolf & Michael Letzig? This Crayon Craft is a great activity for back to school time and color recognition. Students will love making their favorite color crayon while writing what the color can make. Also great for a colored theme bulletin board!

What’s included in this pdf:

• A photograph of the craft activity
• Step-by-step directions
• Templates that can be copied directly onto colored cardstock or construction paper and then cut out by students. 
• Labeled templates that can be xeroxed onto cardstock, cut by the teacher, and then traced onto colored paper and cut by students. Labels will include the name of the pattern, the color to use, and how many of each pattern to cut (Ex: Body Cut 1 Red).
• Coloring templates (a separate 5 page pdf to send to your students for distance learning)

Here are some fun ways to use the craft:

• study on colors
• practicing fine motor skills
• bulletin boards
• door and hallway decorations
• small group station
• pair it with a worksheet, activity, or book
• reward or class party
