EZ CRAFT - Make Your Own Olympic Ring Poster

In studying the history of the Olympics this week one of the fun crafts we did was to make this big Olympic Ring poster to display in our school room.

It was EZ and FUN!

What you need: (we got all supplies at the Dollar Tree)

1 poster board (we used a piece of foam core board)

Paper (we used crepe paper) in all the "ring" colors

Elmer's Glue stick

2 size bowls to draw the rings

What I did 1st was to draw the 5 rings on the board

Then we put glue around the ring a little at a time

Tearing the crepe paper up in tiny pieces and pressing it into the glue...

Continued this all the way around...

There you go...my 5 year old had fun helping but

I know that had my 3 yr old

been awake she would have been just as helpful!

What we read today! Cute cute book!

Molly working on her Olympic Lapbook - LOVE her fire - creative with the different colors.
