Bold coloring page of a crayon box, numbered ruler, and glue stick with stars.

Crayon Box, Ruler, and Glue Stick

A full crayon box sits above a 0-to-6 ruler and a chunky glue stick, all ready for school crafts.

🎨 How to color it

Color the crayon box bright yellow with rainbow crayon tips, make the ruler sunny orange, and give the glue stick a sky-blue wrapper with red stars. For toddlers, use chunky crayons and fill the big box, ruler, and glue stick shapes first; staying inside every tiny line is optional. Try making each crayon tip a different color so the top of the box looks like a little parade.

At the art table, Zuzu pushed, pat-pat, with sticky glue. She wanted a long paper road. The ruler went tap-tap. The crayons made red, blue, green zooms.

“More road!” said Zuzu. She pressed on a star. Then surprise—the star was not the end. It was the first parade car! Crayons marched behind it, pointy hats up. The glue stick rolled, rum-rum, like a bus. Zuzu clapped sticky hands, proud of the bright line she made. Can you find the star that started the parade?
