Toucan Jam
Toucan Jam is an imaginary voyage around the whole world using handmade elements gleaned from library books; colorful ethnic costumes, amazing puppets made from paper mache, wood, cloth, levers and pulleys, and lots of exciting stories, legends and songs. Toucan Jam is famous for the exotic instruments they play from each of the countries visited on this whirlwind tour around the globe.
This program is educational with it's array of thought provoking legends and geographic references but at the same time thoroughly entertaining with a healthy dose of silly humor! Add superb musicianship, story telling skills, lots of interaction and you've got a riviting show that can keep kids K-6 mezmerized for a full 50 minutes!!!
Toucan Jam is time tested - with the original show in it's 8th year and the 'new' Things With Wings show, now in it's 3rd year, Kelly and Donna have honed it down to where it works like magicÉkids, teachers, librarians and parents all give Toucan Jam an energetic 'Thumbs Up' time after time.
