Another fun way to help your kids get excited for the Olympics is have them make there very own torch!  This is a quick, simple craft using all materials you most likely have around your house.

 

What you need:

Red Tissue Paper

Yellow Tissue Paper

White printer paper

Glue

Scissors

 

Steps:

1.  Cut your red and yellow tissue paper in half, creating four pieces.

 

 

 

2.  Then alternate the yellow and red tissue paper, separating them so the corners are staggered.

 

 

3.  Take a piece of white printer paper, curling it to create a tube shape.  This will be the torch handle.  

 

 

 

 

4.  Glue your printer paper and hold for a few minutes while waiting for the glue to dry.

 

 

 

 

5.  Grab all of your tissue paper from the outer edges and squish them together, creating a fluffy pile.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

6.  Stuff the tissue paper into your white torch and have fun!
