I've been online early Christmas shopping recently and came upon an old bookmark on the PC and brought it up again.

www.Klutz.com

These activity books are for kids (I found that out recently - thought they were just for me!

) they're written for kids in a language super easy to understand and the pictures are awesome! Each book comes with everything you need for that activity - whether it's a harmonica, juggling balls, bubble wand, you name it, they have it!

I counted that I have roughly 15 or more of these types of books/activities. They cover juggling, bubble making, card games, car games, face painting, nail painting, friendship bracelets, bobby pins making, wire rings, wire sculpture, tissue paper flowers, on-the-road activity books, learning and the list goes on and on and on...

I thought I only had about 5-8 and found that I have a WHOLE bunch of them. the instructions are super clear and there can be no misunderstanding. I recently bought the Hogwarts card castle, juggling, magic tricks with magnets, penny games, paper stained glass

The tissue paper flowers are awesome and my daughter and I made a huge bouquet that I have at work

Anyone else know this company? - I highly recommend them - can you tell?

It came with 3 bean bags for parctice. Never did learn how to juggle though, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

Never heard of them before but I just bookmarked the site for future visits. My only grandchild is just 18 months old but there are a passle of other kids of assorted ages that are "connected" to the family.

Thanks for the great resource.

And Mother Earth spoke to me about her children and Lo! there were the rocks and minerals, the geodes and thundereggs, the crystals and agates. And I clasped them close to my heart. And Mother Earth smiled and welcomed me into her family. And I played with all the children in joy and peace forever as we all tumbled about.

Funny, just like Baz, I too had a Juggling for Klutz book. Except I bought might a few years back. Being that I'm not not a Klutz, the book didn't work for me. It was too hard. Now if someone were to have another easier book, perhaps Juggling for Completely Helpless, then maybe, just maybe, I might be able to learn how to juggle.

I bought the juggling one for my son when he was in 3rd grade. Before Christmas break was over, not only could he juggle, but he and his dad could pass juggle. Be warned, however. By the time he hit 7th grade, we had invested in several more books, and had a troupe of six 'Super Jugglers' who performed all over town and surrounding areas, entered Lions club talent shows etct. We ended up with flaming torches, special jugglin pins, rings, many more bean bags, light-up balls, bounce juggling balls, etc. When they hit jr. high, they were 'too cool' to perform anymore, unless it was for $$. I still get the occasional call, asking for jugglers. Last summer when he was 19, he and one of the old troupe decided to enter a contest at our local fair, and won 2nd. After 5+ years, they just picked up the equipment, and could still juggle. Amazing!

Of course I can't do it any more due to lack of practice, but that's another story :-) Dean

I can still do it even though its been 20 years since I read it. Never got past 3 balls though.
