Why we LOVE this product!
Magic is a clever route to confidence: kids practice in private and then get to amaze an audience. That moment of applause does a lot for a shy child.
The tricks build from easy to harder, so there's room to grow.
Two things to weigh: the youngest kids will need an adult to help with the book, and some tricks take patience to master.

About
Open The Joy
Open the Joy was founded by Shalini Samtani, a mother whose family's experience with her young daughter's serious illness inspired her to find ways to make difficult days brighter for children. During long hospital stays, Shalini used simple activities such as arts and crafts, games, and imaginative projects to bring moments of happiness and normality into an otherwise challenging time. Working with child life specialists, art therapists, and other caregivers, she developed the idea for Open the Joy.
Today, Open the Joy creates thoughtfully curated activity kits, games, conversation cards, and educational toys designed to support children's emotional well-being through play. Its products help children explore feelings, practice mindfulness, develop confidence, build empathy, and strengthen relationships with the people around them. From creative craft projects and magic tricks to calming activities and conversation starters, each product aims to make important life skills approachable and enjoyable.
The company's mission extends beyond the products themselves. Through its partnership with the Spread the Joy Foundation, Open the Joy supports the distribution of Joy Boxes to children in hospitals, helping bring moments of laughter, creativity, and comfort to families facing difficult circumstances.
By combining playful activities with meaningful emotional learning, Open the Joy helps children build resilience and gives families practical ways to connect, communicate, and create happier moments together.
