Last Sunday we held a juggling workshop in Koskuna. Beatriz and Miguel taught the kids how to make juggling balls with sand and rubber balloons. So we stopped by Venao beach on the way to the community to pick up some sand. We told the kids to put a fistful of sand in the plastic bottles we'd given out, then fill balloons with air about half way and place them around bottle necks. Next, flip the bottles up side down and squeeze the sand into the balloons. It was incredible watching the satisfaction on children's faces when the sand was poring smoothly into their balloons. Then we formed nice balls out of the sand in the balloons, make it all nice and tight, snap the ends off , tape it, and put another colorful balloon around each ball. Again snap the ends off and juggling balls were ready.
When everyone finished, Miguel gave a juggling show, and then we proceeded to glue strings and colorful strips of tissue paper to the balls, so kids could spin them, making beautiful circles in the air! The children loved this workshop, even more so because it was a surprise!
