Well, where was the remaining red clay for Jimmy? Look, it went over there. The red clay sun was setting behind the hill. Jimmy waved his hands vigorously and said: "Good-bye, dear red clay sun!"

致家长：爸爸、妈妈在讲《红泥巴》时，可以引导孩子认知数字1、2、3、4，认知“红”色;引导孩子进行想像，问问孩子他能用橡皮泥捏出什么东西，并请孩子动手试一试;鼓励孩子向小老鼠吉米学习，做个大方的孩子，和大家一起分享玩具。
