The most amusing way to the neurological harmony is juggling. Learn the cascade, it is the best for your brain and easiest to learn. It is an effective method to treat dyslexia, attention and hyperactivity disorder. Here you can learn the three ball cascade: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCt1bmSASCI And you can make your own balls for juggle. These slides give you a step-by-step guide to create balls for juggling.

1. 1.MAKING YOUR OWN
JUGGLING BALL
I would like to thank to my friend,
Károly Takács, for the ideas to this
method

2. Ingredients
(for one ball)
- Three good quality balloons, preferably made of latex
- Filling: Could be of a variety of types. Millet results
in a smoother surface; flour makes it easier to mold.
- It is worth experimenting a little: mix yellow peas
with rice, try barley, etc.
- Rice will make the balls crispy, but mixed with a
little dusting powder, the balls will become nice and
soft.

3. Filling the ball
- You need 70-75g of barley
for a ball with a 5.5 cm
diameter
- Different seeds result in
different levels of
roughness and weight,
and which feels the best
will differ by individual
- You can make the weight of
the ball lighter while
keeping the same volume
by adding bran or small
paper balls (which you
can buy in a hobby shop).

4. - When you've finished
filling, you need to press
and squeeze the seeds
hard into the balloon, so
that all the seeds from
the funnel get into it.
- You need to squeeze until
no seeds are left in the
neck of the balloon.
- Balloons can be stuffed to
become quite big, so it's
important to measure the
filling material to avoid
making a ball that is too
large.
Filling the ball

5. Closing off the first
balloon
- Cut of the thick end of the
neck of the balloon
- You will smooth the neck of
the balloon onto its body
with a slight pull on the
neck

6. 1. Preparing
the next
two balloons
- Take two balloons in the colours of your choice, and
cut off their neck with a gentle curve
- The cut should be somewhat farther down from where
the balloon widens out
- The cut should not be jagged, because a ragged cut
may later cause the material to tear

7. 1. Covering the ball with the
next balloon
- Put two fingers into the
second balloon and
press down the neck of
the first balloon
- Using your other hand,
turn it inside out over
the first balloon

8. 1. Covering the ball with the
next balloon
THIS IS NOT EASY
- You should keep
pulling and
stretching …..
- There's no need
to despair if it
should spring
off; you should
just start over
again …..

9. - If you lift its edge, you can reach into the balloon,
and pull its edge a little higher up
1. Covering the ball with the
next balloon
Slight adjustments
- Be careful with
your nails, as
they may tear
the balloon
- There should be
no excess
material flapping
at the bottom of
the ball; the
balloon should fit
the ball tightly

10. 1. Cover the ball with the third
balloon in exactly the same way

11. 1. Press and roll the now
finished ball into a round
shape 

12. 1. LEFT-OVERS
You can use the left-overs from the balloons to
cover paper balls or table tennis balls.
You can pull it over your fingers to colour them.
This way, you can play a number of games that
develop finger skills.
