Below is 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!

MICHAEL OLAF VOCABULARY CARDS—VEGETABLES
For years we have looked for the perfect set of vegetable cards because
this food group is one of the most important for young children, and a
most important collection of vocabulary words. Sets have gone in and out
of print over the years, abut none have ever been up to our high standards.
This year Susan Stephenson devoted a large portion of her oil painting
time to creating a collection of 24 vegetable paintings in her studio
here on the Northcoast of California. I hope you enjoy them.
The cards are professionally printed in full color, on stiff cardboard. They are 4.25" x 5", 24 different images, one of each. Please order two sets if you plan to make 3-part reading cards.

ABORIGINAL ART COASTERS
This year we are lucky to have found a number of items from the Aboriginal
art tradition which is being revived in Australia. These beautiful, very
special coasters are hand painted and depict the traditional flower designs
of an ancient culture. Size: 3.75", color, cork backing.
