An Activity for Preschoolers:
Create a fabulous torch to inspire Olympic dreams!
Before You Begin:
You'll only need to gather a few simple materials for this exciting activity: extra-long craft
rolls, tissue paper, glitter glue or sparkly paint, and regular glue.
Activity Goals:
To create an Olympic Torch that will inspire children to be active and role-play.
Furthermore:
In addition to providing a hands-on way to learn about the Olympics, these torches may
also be used as part of a relay race or other Olympics-inspired activities that get children
up and exercising.
Steps:
- Paint the craft roll with glitter glue or sparkly paint, and then let it dry.
- Combine red, orange and yellow tissue paper sheets together to create a single stem at one
end and flames at the other. - Once the craft roll is dry, insert the tissue paper stem into one end of the roll.
- Add a little bit of glue on the inside of the roll to keep the tissue stem in place, and then let
it dry.
