Here is a cute craft idea that fits in with the olympics starting next week. Easy enough for all ages.

Craft- Making Olympic Flags
Materials- white paper, blue, black, red, yellow, and green paint, potatoes or paper towel
rolls
1- Show children a picture of the Olympic flag. Explain that this is a Flag of
Friendship. The circles represent the five parts of the world and each one has a
different color. Using potato stamps cut in the shape of a ring, or ends of paper
towel rolls, have the children recreate the flag using the different colored paint.
To create potato stamps wash and cut potatoes in half, then carve a ring in the
white part of the potato. Dip in paint then stamp on paper to create images. (You
can also use round cookie cutters…whatever you may have on hand.)
