Wonder Girl (5) had been enthralled with the Olympics so today I decided to do an Olympic themed craft. This is a very toddler friendly craft that my almost Kindergartener also enjoyed. I told the girls about the tradition of the Olympic flame and the torch run then said we would be making our own Olympic Torches. I cut out brown triangles from construction paper to represent the torch and cut many small pieces of red, yellow and orange tissue paper for the flame. We taped a piece of Contact Paper (sticky side up) on the table and adhered the torches. The girls then stuck the flames onto the torch. Because we had built our torches on Contact Paper we could then simply untape them from the table, turn them over and stick them to our window. Voila instant sun catcher! The light shining through the tissue paper really made the flames stand out and the girls loved them so much they each decided to make two additional ones!
