Juggling Cubes Set

Juggling bean bags offer a great way for students to get familiar with this skill, which requires a superior level of hand/eye coordination, quick reflexes, and timing abilities. Juggle cubes are easy to handle because of their defined shape, and they won’t roll away even when dropped. Soft to the touch, they’re a premier option for teaching juggling!

Ideal for Skill Progression

Cubes are a great intermediate option for juggling. Use them as a transition between scarves (beginner) and small balls (advanced). The cube shape provides a more tactile grip, allowing students to focus on their timing instead of concentrating on handling. Plus, even when dropped, cubes won't roll or bounce away!

Friendly Construction

Made with soft fabric, the construction of these juggle cubes is comfortable and natural in the hands of students. The 4 oz design also makes them easy to handle. This natural feel keeps students focused on the objective, instead of worrying about injury. 2" sq.
