Sweet Sassy Studio: olympic party 2012

We had a great afternoon celebrating the Olympics with a few friends!

This big guy and I painted the rings and talked about what they represent. There is a song he sings at school about continents I must learn! We all made our own flags. I used a bunch of scrap material that was nice and heavy. Cups worked perfectly as ring stamps. This was a great activity-one of our Olympians was only 2 and he LOVED making a his own flag with Mommy!

My girlfriend who arrived helped me put the medals together. A little hot glue, ribbons, chocolate coins and a paper circle for a medal. All supplies I had in my stash! The kids really loved these and they were so easy to make. Big brother didn't take his off even when we went out for supper a few hours later. He ate his medal for dessert.

Thank you Playmobil! These Olympic figures are wonderful for all ages and great deal at less than five bucks. Bonus-the swimmers really float! I picked up 2 swimmers and 2 bikers so we could have races. We have used the pool, a baking dish and the hot tub. We watched diving before bed tonight so I assume the figures will be diving tomorrow...guess I will be making a diving board after I post this! I look forward to pulling these out again each year for the Olympics.
