Olympic Torch Craft

Wow I can’t believe it is Olympic time again! The Olympic Torch is one of my all time favorite crafts to do with the kids because it is easy to make and is a great prop for pretend play.

The silver paint on this is so sparkly I keep on forgetting what I am doing…yep, shiny things distract me…

To make this craft we used our homemade dyed coffee filters, a paper roll, paint, and glue. It took less than 15 minutes to make the entire torch and the kids were still playing with them when it came time for bed!

I would also suggest using a sturdy paper roll tube for this craft. The one that I used came from a roll of garbage bags and was a lot thicker than the typical toilet paper roll.

We made one Olympic torch in gold and one in silver. I am in love with the way they both turned out. I usually am not very impressed with glitter paints and I have to say I am absolutely in love with this line of paint from Martha Stewart
