Below is just a sample of what you will find in The
Joyful Child. However, the Michael Olaf catalogues contain 160 pages
of text and products so we highly recommend that you order your own paper
copy and curl up with it in a peaceful moment instead of spending more
time on the computer!

BEESWAX BLOCK-STYLE CRAYONS
These
special crayons from Germany, made of natural beeswax and organic dyes,
smell and feel delightful, and make beautiful, soft, water-color-type
art, especially on good art paper. They are shaped in blocks which are
very easy for the young child to hold, and which provide both pointed
and flat surfaces for various coloring techniques. The blocks come in
a lovely colored metal box, as pleasing to the child as the crayons.
CM158 Set I (8 blocks) $10.95
CM160 Set II (16 blocks) $19.85
In each book there are lovely examples of animals, shapes, and colors from American architecture on one page, and a corresponding word or short sentence on the facing page. Children who have these books become much more observant of buildings in the community—and so do their parents! They open up a whole new world. The counting book introduces a new subject for counting: "1 skyscraper, 2 brackets, 3 dormers, 4 pinnacles, 5 arches", and so on. Heavy cardboard, 6" x 6," full color.
