Cute Toucan Stuff

As you can tell from my blog title, I like toucans alot.  In my classroom you will find them on posters, in books, even as puppets.  I am always on the lookout for more toucan stuff that I think my students will like.  Here's some that I found on a recent search.

• On Crayola's website I found this cute craft for making "you can toucan mascots" using Crayola Model Magic. 
• "You Can Toucan Math" is a colorful book full of problem solving fun.
• "Toucan You Can" is a collection of catchy children's songs by vocal artist, Donna Lisa.
• I found an adorable little musical video about Toco the toucan on the children's website, Boowa and Kwala.  If you haven't checked out this website...do it!
• One of my favorite poets, Shel Silverstein, wrote the poem below about this curious little bird.  I think I might incorporate it into a creative writing activity for my Kinders next school year.
