Behind the Little Red Door: Can You Touch a Color? SEL and STEAM Kit

Developed in collaboration with Coy Bowles, author and member of the Grammy Award-winning Zac Brown Band, this all-in-one SEL and STEAM kit is based on his new book, Behind the Little Red Door: Can You Touch a Color? The book encourages curiosity, communication and collaboration as it follows three friends on a rainy-day journey through an intriguing red door. The kit is designed to promote social-emotional learning and understanding of STEAM concepts through storytelling, music, play, creativity, imagination and appreciation of colors and culture. It’s packed with hands-on materials, including a vibrant floor puzzle with character pieces to navigate your students’ color journey…and sensory science materials to help children calm their bodies. Need transition ideas? This kit has it all! The Behind the Little Red Door character puppet engages students with activities and guides them through daily transitions. We’ve also included Coy’s latest CD, Up and Up, featuring fun, catchy and upbeat original songs suited for your daily routine—like arriving at school, bathroom breaks, mealtime, cleaning up, brain breaks and going home, as well as songs about SEL concepts like perseverance and positivity. The 21 teacher-guided instructional activity cards are the centerpiece for making the kit come alive in the classroom. They support teachers in the most effective way by engaging students with the materials in the kit through cooperative play. This kit is a comprehensive, creative ecosystem for the whole child, neatly stored in a custom-designed box.
