"All the kids love TREVOR. When he arrives, they all come running with their eyes all lit up!" Nisa Zalta, director, Stepping Out Multi-Cultural Day Camp, Northampton MA
THE UP IN THE AIR SHOW
a special package for that special outdoor event
TREVOR delights young and old from the moment he arrives, stiltwalking in way up in the air at over 9' tall! We begin with some really High-Fives... it gets them up in the air right from the start, too!
Then gather around, everyone, it's time for The Aerial Delights Show, an up-in-the-air extravaganza of tricks and skills featuring wind whistlers, ribbon dancers, the color-changing Chameleon Stick, and lots of other FUN stuff.
It's a 100% participatory show --- the kids are doing something from beginning to end: volunteers are called up from the audience, we count down to blast off, they call out items in various categories for him to do, and although he tells them not to laugh, they laugh all the way through!
When he takes off the stilts at the end of the first half, the audience is always interested in the educational part of the program: seeing how the stilts are constructed and answering their questions.
The second part is always Parachute Games.
When everyone grabs ahold of the Rainbow Parachute, it's the thrill
and excitement of over, under, around, and through! You've seen it
before, you know it's a blast! Everyone loves Parachute Play!
We'll play games on top of the parachute. We'll play games under the parachute. We'll do both at the same time! We'll play some of everybody's favorites including selections from the following: Mountain Climbing, The Big Balloon, Blue Eyes Under, Alligator, Jumping Beans, Cat & Mouse, Bake the Cake, Funny Faces, Washing Machine, Fruit Roll-Up, Duck Duck Duck, and, as seen in this video, the kids' all-time favorite: Popcorn!
Kids just absolutely love Parachute Play! And you know what else? Adults love them, too! And, believe it or not, so do teenagers!
Together, it's a full hour of sheer FUN and delight!
All of the above with a festive add-on craft project called: Project Ribbon Dancer. It's a combination craft project,
party favor, and really cool toy all mixed up into one!
Ribbon dancers are that classic loooong ribbon-on-a-stick toy. The children are fascinated when TREVOR opens up his big, red suitcase and sets up the Ribbon Dancer Factory. Oohs and ahhs go through the crowd as they catch sight of all the different types and colors of ribbons to choose from. Each child picks their favorite, it's attached to a bamboo handle, and then comes the artistic part: they all get to decorate and customize their handle with a wide variety of colored tapes. And since there's no limits on tape usage, the results are always fantastic!
And finally, they all play with their new creations, waving them all around, in so many different ways, and all up in the air! They get to take it home for more FUN later on again and again! Everyone loves this project. And when you see them being so artistic with the tapes and then all joyously waving their ribbon dancers up in the air together, you'll experience the joy yourself!
