A Broken Crayon – Animated Book Music Video

Description

A Broken Crayon is an animated music video designed to support Social Emotional Learning (SEL) by helping students explore resilience, self-worth, emotional expression, and belonging. Through engaging music and storytelling, the video encourages children to understand that challenges and difficult emotions are a natural part of growth — and that everyone has value, even when they feel broken or imperfect.

Ideal for SEL instruction, classroom community building, school counseling, character education, morning meetings, and small-group discussions, this resource helps educators facilitate meaningful conversations around empathy, growth mindset, emotional regulation, and positive identity development. The relatable message and age-appropriate animation make complex emotional themes accessible for young learners while supporting a safe, inclusive classroom culture.

Teachers and counselors use A Broken Crayon as a conversation starter to promote self-awareness, kindness, and peer connection — helping students develop the social and emotional skills they need to thrive academically and personally.
