This simple craft makes a colourful wall display and provides an opportunity for youngsters to practise cutting skills and colour recognition.
You will need:
5 small paper plates
Blue, black, red, green and yellow paint
Glue
Carefully cut out the centre of the 5 paper plates. Paint each plate in a different colour and leave to dry. Lay out the rings in the Olympic design and glue together.
This Olympic craft idea can be adapted to suit the age of your kids. We've used an old painting technique to create the dramatic background, and cut out a fairly detailed silhouette of athletes carrying their country's flag.
Sarah has come up with another idea for an Olympics craft, using recycled polystyrene, finger painting and your felt tip pens. It looks great for an Olympics display...
Who would have guessed that this wonderful gold medal -a perfect for the Olympics – is made out of polystyrene pizza bases! This is a great craft to do with a range of ages as you can keep it very simple with younger kids or let older kids get very elaborate indeed.
