If you didn’t already know, learning to juggle has been shown to have a number of important benefits. Juggling improves one’s ability to store and process visual information, even stimulating growth in those areas of the brain. It helps hand-eye coordination and motor skills, as well as balance and pattern recognition.

Perhaps most importantly, however, juggling teaches children how to learn and solve problems. In order to learn to juggle, children (and adults too!) must learn focus and observation, practice and perseverance. Jugglers have to learn to break problems down into parts and solve them from there.

Here at Sleepytime Store, we offer a wonderful set of juggling balls from Schylling, one of our most popular makers of vintage and classic toys. These balls are vinyl-covered and perfect for all children five and up. They’re available in two different styles and come with step-by-step instructions.

With Schylling Juggling Balls, your child will have a great way to have fun, and learn while doing it!
