Summer 2025 – A World of Colorful Excitement!

Mr. Jim is bringing a world of color to libraries this coming summer! Participants will have the opportunity to participate in a hands-on flurry of colors, either sport (cup) stacking or juggling. This family-based program is fun for all ages.
Cup stacking is fast and exciting, stacking colorful cups in a series of formations that anyone can do! But there’s more fun when the children combine their cups and build larger structures that they can be proud of!
Juggling is a great activity that involves lots of motion, learning and fun. Mr. Jim has created a simple system of learning that begins with only one ball–that’s right, there are so many ways to juggle with only one ball, which is the foundation for learning how to juggle two or three balls.
No matter which program activity you choose for your library, Mr. Jim guarantees a colorful flurry of excitement and fun!

Speaking of color, Mr. Jim is offering the Animal Balloon Presentation as well, another family favorite! The children will be in awe as Mr. Jim creates a wide variety of colorful animals, sharing simple step-by-step instructions for this wonderful artform.
