- Squirt each color onto a small paper plate with 1 tp/paper roll assigned to each color
- Show your children a picture of the Olympic Rings or do an example yourself
- Encourage your children to mimic the example
- While you tell them the history of the Rings and what they stand for
- Lay flat or hang to dry
If your kids are crafters like mine you may want to add these steps:
- Talk about your children's favorite Olympic happenings
- sports
- athletes
- event {just something they've seen while watching the Olympics}
- team {may not even be the USA}
- Gave them paint a picture of what they told you
- Glue animal crackers in place {as the "athletes" and write their name/team if you want}
- Lay FLAT to dry {so "athletes" don't slide}
