Hello everyone and welcome to our The Day the Crayons Quit Art lesson.

The Day the Crayons Quit | Teaching Resources

For this session we are going to create our own crayon and choose a colour for it.

There are lots of different shades of one colour. We might say green can be light or dark. Or use a completely different name for it.

I’d like you to think carefully about colours that might not be in the book themselves.

You could choose Light Blue Crayon or Dark Red Crayon or even a colour like Turqouise Crayon or Beige Crayon.

Below is a list of colours with their names that you can use! Printed Color Chart image 0

You’ll have to create or draw your crayon and say why they are quitting!

You could even create a multi-coloured crayon!

Below are some ideas.

Here is a crayon template for your own crayon
