New Nursery Manual in 2008

Yes, there's a new nursery manual out. I LOVE IT! I bought it just for me to have, even though I'm not in nursery anymore. I love how each lesson has a simple plan and includes a coloring page.

This blog is set up and the posts are labeled after the old orange nursery manual. I hope you still find the color pages and crafts helpful, even though they don't exactly match up with the lesson numbers and names anymore.

This CUTE Book Goes with the Lesson!

The Crayon Box That Talked
By Shane DeRolf

While walking in the toy store

The day before today

I overheard a crayon box

With many things to say


“I don’t like the Red,” said the Orange

and Green said, “Nor do I”

and no one here likes Yellow

But no one knows just why


“We are a box of crayons

that doesn’t get along”

Said Blue to all the others

“Something here is wrong.”


Well, I bought that box of crayons

And I took it home with me

And laid out all the colors

So the crayons could all see


They watched me as I colored

With Red and Blue and Green

And Black and White and Orange

And every color in between


They watched as Green became the grass

And Blue became the sky

The Yellow sun was shining bright

On White clouds drifting by


Colors changing as they touched

Becoming something new

They watched me as I colored

They watched until I was through


And when I’d finally finished

I began to walk away

And as I did the crayon box

Had something new to say


“I do like Red,” said Orange

and Green said, “So do I”

and Blue you were terrific

so high up in the sky


“We are a box a crayons

each one of us unique

But when we get together

The picture is complete.”

color page













example glue page, front









example glue page, back




copy the barnyard to the top 1/2 of paper. UPSIDE DOWN on the bottom 1/2 of the paper, draw a continued fence & mountain landscape. when folded, both sides will be right side up, with an opening on the top (to put animals in). fold the paper in half to have a barnyard on one side & landscape on the other. tape the sides closed. the die-cut animals go inside, and the little animals are printed on colored paper and glued to the barnyard/landscape.
