Purple Day
Spring
Explore Our Spring Episodes
I gathered all the spring episodes, summarized the circle and story times, and put them together on this page. Find an episode that looks interesting, click it, and enjoy 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.
