Explore Purple Day's Autumn Episodes
I gathered all the autumn episodes, summarized the circle and story times, and put them together on this page. Find one that looks interesting, click it, and enjoy an episode of Purple Day!
When I first created Storytime in the Schoolhouse®, I didn’t expect one of the most loved features to be the audio-only version of the episodes. Purple Day was born from that discovery—a way for families to anchor their rhythm through gentle, screen-free connection.
