“One evening, after thinking it over for some time,
Harold decided to go for a walk in the moonlight.”
What an enchanting way to set up a story. We adore all of the Harold and the Purple Crayon books at our house. This week Small Potatoes offers an simple and brilliant activity. She why she loves the series:
This book has been here since 1955. And it’s been one of my favourites since…well…let’s just say sometime in the early 70′s.
The enduring popularity of Harold and the Purple Crayon reminds us that a good book doesn’t need a whole lot of bells and whistles, or a lot of colour. This story lives on in our imaginations because Harold does what we all wanted to as children.
Here are some of my favorite photos of the the kids mid-project!

PS: Now I have this classic Patsy Cline tune stuck in my head!

Notes to Fellow Bloggers:
- We are looking to team up with other fun kid’s blogs to create something we fondly call the Kid’s Co-op. A weekly group of blogging parents who do a joint link-up with their readers to showcase some of the hippest kids projects out on the web. Blogs of all sizes are welcome. If you are interested, request to join our private Facebook group by clicking here.
- Stop by every Friday and add your link. Your link will show up on each of the blogs in the community, so it’s like linking up to multiple parties at once! We currently have 20+ bloggers participating.
- Each week we will try to choose favorite posts to feature. By linking up, you are giving us permission to use an image and link back to you (if featured). You will also get a ‘Featured on’ button to proudly display on your blog.
