Summary: Harold loves race cars and so, with a few strokes of his trusty purple crayon, he transports himself into the world of race car driving. Get ready, get set, and go with Harold as he zooms off on another exciting adventure.
Circle Time
Make or print off 5 race cars, (I printed off 5x7 size so i could get 4 to a sheet). Color and cut out and number each 1 - 5 and attach them to popsicle sticks. While you sing the song have your LO hold up the car puppets and count them.

Five fast race cars speeding round the track.
The first car said, "I can't look back!"
The second car said, "Oh, no! I'm out of gas!"
The third car said, "Beep! Beep! I'm fast!"
The fourth car said, "Vroom, vroom. I win!"
The fifth car said, "Vroom, vroom. I win!"
Then beep went a horn and flash went the lights.
And five fast race cars sped out of sight.

Thank you for this recommendation. I love Harold and the Purple Crayon from when I was younger, and my son isn't at all interested in our collected works edition yet. But he loves cars, so I'm going to give this one a try for sure!
