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.
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!
The only real trick to making the Olympic Torch is to place glue inside the tube and in between every layer of tissue paper. It doesn’t take much to hold together for a while. 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.
