DIY Olympic Crafts for Kids...

DIY Olympic Crafts for Kids We presently had to share this text with the visitors.

The Winter Olympics Opening Ceremonies begin tonight, so we decided to do a few DIY Olympic crafts, perfect for the kids!

I purchased five 9.8 inch foam wreaths from the Dollar Store to make the Olympic rings. I had some left over crepe paper rolls from various birthday parties I was able to use for this little project.

I wrapped the streamers around each wreath to make the 5 Olympic rings and secured them with tape. This also allows you to reuse the wreaths for another project later on.

After the rings were complete, I displayed them on the wall. I was able to find a free printable welcome banner online which I cut out and displayed right below the rings.

Next I took a piece of yarn (but you can use string, wire, etc) and taped 5 strips of each color of the crepe paper. This is a very easy economical way to make a quick backdrop. The rings, backdrop and banner were less than $10 and such a kid-friendly project.

After making the rings and the backdrop I still had some crepe paper left over. We decided to make medals with some chocolate coins. I purchased the chocolate coins at the party store for 15 @ $1.00.

All you have to do is measure out the streamer to the length you want, tape the ends together then either tape or glue the coin to the paper.

For other ideas I looked on Pinterest for Olympic themed parties. I was able to find some really terrific free printable workbooks for kids that had math, spelling and handwriting activities.

Since were team U.S.A, I pulled out some of our 4th of July decorations which fit really nicely with our theme.

Now we just have to make some fun snacks and desserts to get ready for the Opening Ceremony!

Make sure to catch the Olympics on NBC beginning on February 8th with the Opening Ceremony on February 9th! Go U.S.A!!

I have a background in Event and Television/Film production. I was an Event Manager for CineVegas Film Festival in Las Vegas which was chaired by Dennis Hopper and a talent assistant for the HBO & TBS Comedy Festivals. For CineVegas, I was responsible for planning celebrity red carpet premieres and honoree receptions which included, Charlize Theron, Ben Kingsly, Anthony Hopkins, Anjelica Huston, Don Cheadle to name a few. In Orlando I worked for a sports network for 5 years. If life would have taken me in a different direction I would have become a chef because I love cooking so much (doesnt mean Im excellent at it). However, I was fortunate enough to collaborate with some of the best chefs during my time in Las Vegas which was definitely a highlight in my career. My fianc and I have been together for 7 years but have known each other more than 20. We have a blended family Miguel has 2 boys (14 yr. old & 11 yr. old) and we have a 3 year old daughter together, so our lives are pretty busy. Im a working mom just trying to balance it all. I started my blog Modern Latina Mommy because thats exactly what I feel I am. I want my daughter to be exposed to the Mexican traditions I grew up with, yet give them a modern twist. Her dad is a professional Mariachi at EPCOT so we are definitely a theme park family. My home is filled with music, laughter, a little bit of chaos and a whole lot of love. https://orlando.citymomsblog.com/diy-olympic-crafts-for-kids/
