Clowns in the Classroom! (or Concert!)

Due a request by a valued Music Box member, here is a post all about CLOWNS! Some people think clowns are spooky but I disagree - they are silly, stylish, groovy, and help us sing solos! In a time that is occupied by ipads, ipods, video games, smart boards, computers, etc., you would be amazed how a simple clown puppet (even a D.I.Y. one) can entrance a whole class and draw a singing voice out of even the shiest young musicians. The "Toymaker's Clowns" from Kids Make Music, Babies Make Music Too! (http://musicrhapsody.com/product/kids-make-music-babies-make-music-too-book-teachers-book/ ) has been a favorite for years, and never gets old. It is not uncommon that singing "come-out" or just "out" to the hiding clown is the very first vocalizing that a toddler does in your class. Here are some resources for Music Box members to bring the clown to life in your classroom:

Get the lesson plan and story about the Toymaker's Clowns here: http://lynnkleinersmusicbox.com/store/product/59/the-toymaker-s-clowns
It's an awesome story for the holidays, year round, or ever as a part of a winter concert.

(Get the puppet at music at http://musicrhapsody.com/product/pop-up-clown/ )

Here's the B section of the song, "And He Dances," by Susie Splitter: http://lynnkleinersmusicbox.com/store/product/32/and-he-dances.

Check out some kids performing the story and songs at their concert! http://lynnkleinersmusicbox.com/videos/4/21/the-toymaker-039-s-clowns

On a budget? Make your own pop-up clown: http://lynnkleinersmusicbox.com/store/product/135/clown-puppet-visual

Parents love the clown too!

Have fun!
