Do this Circus Clown Toilet Paper Roll Craft. If you have the skill, grab a few soft balls and show your child what it means to juggle. If you don't have the skill, try a psuedo-juggle with only two balls. Hoop Fun Movement Let your child pretend he is a circus animal who has been trained to jump through hoops. Have him practice stepping or jumping through a hula hoop. Then, you and your child should take turns throwing stuffed animals through a hula hoop or other large ring. Popcorn Bag You'll need popcorn, a small paper bag, crayons, paint, markers, and other other decorating objects (stickes, etc.) Help your child decorate the small paper bag in any manner he chooses.
