My 6 week old kittens are doing great, but as they get more comfortable they are starting to use me as a human climbing gym lol. This is funny and cute right now but I know in a few weeks when they are bigger (with bigger CLAWS) it won't be so funny. How do I discourage this behaviour, and do I start discouraging it now? Their favorite place to play is ON me haha.

A firm "no!" and perhaps a well placed hiss will let them know it's not a good idea to claw you.  You can also walk away when the playing gets to rough.  They'll get the idea soon enough.
