| Olympic Art-MCP 2010 |
I always look forward to the Olympics. We always celebrate the Winter Olympics in our classroom so I thought I'd share some ideas for you to do at home this summer.
*Create some Team USA t-shirts w/fabric paints. Family Fun magazine has lots and lots of ideas for Team USA t-shirts and crafts. Search 'Fourth of July' on their website.
*Make an Olympic torch-

*Celebrate your heritage and root for your home country! Search for coloring pages for English tourist sites and flags of world countries.
*Buy medals at your local party store.
*Bake scones and have tea. I did a quick search at Allrecipes.com and found many easy scone recipes. Children love to cook and so much learning happens when you cook with your child.
*Watch some movies---Disney's Peter Pan, 101 Dalmatians, Sword and the Stone and Mary Poppins are good start! :-)
*Head to your local library, search online and explore, learn and discover countries around our world.
*Use Team USA colors or Olympic colors (blue, black, yellow, red and green). Decorate with streamers and balloons. Celebrate!
*Want to plan a party? Invite four other families. Assign each family an Olympic color and have them wear t-shirts in that color.
*Bake cupcakes. Search 'Olympic cupcake ideas' for more cupcake images than you would think possible.
Make it easy use white frosting and add five candy-coated chocolates. This idea came from the June/July issue of Family Fun magazine.
