DIY Circus Lab for Kids

It's the greatest show on Earth — and you're the star! DIY Circus Lab for Kids is a family-friendly guide to creating your own circus. Kids learn basic circus skills like juggling, acrobatics, balance, and clowning, and then combine those skills into a show.

The book opens with a DIY prop-making class for making homemade circus equipment. Props include juggling sticks, hoops, and tie-on stilts. Rising circus stars then move onto lessons in toss juggling, flower sticks, poi, human pyramids, and more. Combine those skills into an act, and the acts into a show.

DIY Circus Lab for Kids also includes the Circademic Corner, which is full of academic and scientific factoids about the circus, and Safety Check boxes whenever skill-learning requires adult supervision. Many of the skills in this book are safe enough for kids to do themselves, with a few requiring an adult "spotter."
