What is the story of Harold and the Purple Crayon?
Harold and the Purple Crayon tells the charming story of a young boy named Harold who embarks on an imaginative adventure with a magical purple crayon.

The story celebrates creativity and children’s imaginations. It makes a really fun party theme or arts and craft ideas.
Drink Recipe For Harold And The Purple Crayon Parties
RECIPE TIP: The trick to this glittery fun purple drink comes from the edible drink glitter. You only need a small amount of this edible glitter.
If you have a drink making station for kids, be sure to have an adult to add the drink glitter to the punch (or the kids will use too much!).

Harold And The Purple Crayon Party Punch
Ingredients
- 24 ounces carbonated lemon lime soda (like Sprite, Ginger Ale, etc.) chilled
- 1 cup pineapple juice chilled
- 1 teaspoon edible purple drink glitter (see post)
Instructions
- Pre-portion 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon of the edible purple glitter dust into each glass jar - just about a pinch for each glass. (We use 8 ounce jelly canning jars with lids.)
- Add 1/4 cup pineapple juice to each jar.
- Add lemon lime soda to each jar. **IMPORTANT do not fill all the way to the top. Once you place the lid on and shake the jar, the carbonation will explode if you fill the glasses/jars too full.
- Immediately place lid on jar and shake. Observe the awesome purple drink magic! (If you are using clear glasses instead of jars, stirring the drink with a straw or spoon will get the same result.)
- Remove lid and place straw in drink. Served immediately.
- If at any point the drink dust glitter settles, just stir with a spoon or straw. It will magically swirl and glitter again!
