Tell us about your child and we will recommend a present they will love.
The skills they will learn are simple but challenging. For example the Peacock feather balance challenge is possible because they are so light and long they are easier to learn the balancing skill so everyone will get a sense of achievement and the high achievers can balance on their nose.
We teach initially with scarves as they float and therefore make it possible for even the youngest child to catch. They are great for encouraging pupils to make up tricks of their own and for partner and group work. You can also use them to teach the 3 object pattern although there's no substitute for using beanbags to actually learn the cascade.
We teach using beanbags as they are softer than balls and easier for children to catch. The splats ball/ beanbag we have designed as part of our splat pack is a really perfect tool for learning to juggle. We teach pupils 1 - 3 ball juggling. The key pattern you will find out is to learn to cross the balls in an alternate pattern rather than passing them in a circle. To help learn this, the secret is - believe it or not - is to encourage pupils to drop. If you take the emphasis away from the catching and place it on the throw - eventually the catch will take care of itself.
Diabolos are brilliant for Year 3 (ish) and above. Once you can get the diabolo spinning it can be thrown and caught in as many ways as you can imagine. The pupils will really take over and teach each other.
Chinese Ribbons
A really beautiful way for the pupils to express their movement. Very simple to use so ideal for all ages and particularly good when linked with music and dance.
Never ceases to fascinate children and adults. They are great as they can be used by children as young as nursery as just to balance the plate on the stick is visually interesting. To actually get the plate spinning from a standing start is the key and a great challenge.
Peacock feathers
By far the best way to introduce pupils to the concept of balance. Because they move so slowly it enables the pupils to move with them and with such a visual cue of the eye of the peacock. Balance on a finger - chin - nose!
Stilts
We use hold on wooden stilts - very safe but still a great challenge as the pupils can get the chance to be as high as the teacher. The teacher of course usually can't resist getting on and reliving their childhood.
Poi
Our Splats poi are absolutley perfect for children to use. They are a great way to develop coordination and rhythm - excellent for shows and for use with music. We also have small poi flags - very visual and rewarding to spin.
Our splats teacher runs the party using an organised structure which is suitable for a variety of ages and any mix of abilities. All the children will leave with a feeling of accomplishment and of course having had great fun.
