Craft Time:Olympic Torch

The Olympics begin tonight and, needless to say, the girls and I are pretty excited about it.  B can't wait to see the gymnastics girls perform!  The girls made their own Olympic torches this morning...

 

Please excuse the poor lighting.  I really don't like to use my flash and the kitchen is the only room that has poor natural lighting.   Well, except for the bathroom, but I don't take any pictures in there, which I'm sure you are very grateful for.  When we renovate our kitchen it will have natural light galore!

Glue a piece of construction paper to a paper towel roll.  I used hot glue so it would dry quicker, but you could also use Elmer's glue.

Then I let the girls decorate it with stars and markers... 

B even wrote "USA" on hers as well as the Olympic rings and the American Flag.  The close up of her torch is at the top of the post... 

This is Mel's.  One lonely star...
