The 'Bambajam Pelangi Kit' has been designed for Early Years and Primary settings to enable children to connect with one another and develop together through musical play.

Connection and communication is built in, as the Pelangi's unique double-sided frame helps children connect through the instrument as well as through the music.

The Pelangi was awarded the top Gold award at both Early Years and Primary levels, and was overall winner in the other teaching resources category at Primary level. The entire methodology of the 'Bambajam Pelangi Kit' is based on learning by playing.

As well as graded pieces with lyrics and backing tracks there are numerous musical games included - for example musical dominos, the human piano, and story-telling with chords. The colours and animals coded on to the keys enable the children to invent their own games, as well as helping them identify with the different tones before they can name them.

There is also an extensive Bambajam music library full of song packs, teaching resources, games, backing tracks and more. Each song pack is arranged for single player, duet and group using a specially developed notation system that combines colours, animals and traditional music notation. Also included are lyrics, chords and a play-along backing track.

This wonderful instrument can help with all aspects of EY development, including:

Sensory and/or physical needs

* Self-played:
- Easy to hold and play
- Develops eye-hand coordination, dexterity and control
- Movable keys for explorative play
- Coloured keys with animal designs help children identify with each note
- Library of music packs, backing track, flashcards and more
- Ergonomic keys and mallets with shorter and wider handles
* Practitioner-facilitated play:
Using the unique double-sided frame, students sit opposite each other and play music together. This creates a bond as they communicate through the instruments as well as the music. As single pitched instruments, groups play together in an ensemble format, helping to develop a sense of focus and curiosity.

Social, emotional and mental health
The natural sound of the bamboo soothes and calms whilst the movable keys encourage children to explore and learn for themselves. Share parts helps develop a bond with each other.

Communication and interaction
Designed for collective play, the Bambajam helps create a sense of achievement, joy and satisfaction from creating music with each other. Children build confidence in musical conversations with each other whilst active listening helps develop children's awareness of their own importance within the group.

Cognition and learning

Inclusive, inquisitive and expressive play helps children explore music in a 'game-focused' way. Each feature is designed to encourage learning reflective of the children's age and ability.
