Olympic Rings Craft and Memory Printable!

Sharing is caring!

I am having one of those weeks when I just cannot focus. Maybe it is the two snow days that we had…even though there wasn’t a drop of snow or ice on the ground or in the air. Last night we watched the opening of the Olympics and the first thing my daughter did after running around with her Olympic torch like a maniac was to pull out the craft box and decide to make the “pretty bracelets” aka- Olympic Rings to go with her “princess necklace” aka-Olympic Gold Medal

olympic rings craftItems Needed for the Olympic Rings Craft:

  • Cardstock
  • Scissors
  • Pen
  • Glue
  • Tissue Paper Squares (I used pre-cut tissue paper from Oriental Trading, but you can see how to make your own here).

The one thing that we did that made this craft easier was fold the paper in half to cut out the rings. This made it so we didn’t have to pull out an X-Acto knife to get the inside out and the kids were able to do it themselves.

A dot of glue is all your do! Dot…dot…not a lot!

You can secure them either with glue or a stapler. We did ours with glue and looking back a stapler probably would have been A LOT easier.
