You can get some basic but colorful juggling balls on amazon for a good
price. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Peterkin-4335-Juggling-Balls/dp/B000E5V6WM
Watch this funny tutorial on youtube. It's a young kid who can juggle 4
balls really well and the subtitles explain how he does it.
I like the Learn How to Juggle website as it explains tricks and shows
the balls moving at the same time.
You
can juggle with all sorts of things - bean bags, balls, clubs, rings but you
can even use apples and oranges if you don't have the right equipment but want
to give it a try.
1. Use a funnel to fill a balloon with
rice. You can decide how heavy you want the ball to be.
2. Cut the skinny end off another
balloon and wrap it around the ball of rice.
3. Keep adding more balloons -
alternating where you leave the opening so that the ball keeps its shape and
stays even.
4. You can glue shapes of balloon on to the final ball to decorate.
Juggling rings are good fun. They are a mid-way step between juggling balls and clubs. And I found them really good for my kids as they don't cause injuries, so if you have more than one person wanting to juggle they can all practice together without injuring each other.
You can buy
workshop packs with juggling equipment. Even the basic kits include bean bag
balls, sticks, spinning plates etc.
Oddballs
have a range of workshop packs and it really depends how many people you think
will be coming to the group.
Juggling scarves are really good for beginner jugglers. They float through the air and are easy to catch. Experts recommend that young children learn to juggle with scarves as they are much easier to catch than balls and then they can move over to balls when they have better hand eye co-ordination.
Watch
this YouTube video for a really good guide to juggling that breaks down one
step at a time how to juggle.
