DIY Olympic Medals: Go for the Gold!

We watched a marathon of Olympic sports yesterday and made up this craft and some games in the yard to keep our energy and creativity up while having way more screen time than normal for our family. It was super simple and they loved it so much they ended up making them all day long, including some awards for family and friends. Proud gold medalist of the world’s best mom right here 🤸‍♂️

Passing along this little trick to keep in your back pocket for a day when you need it:

Supplies

• Paper

• Round objects to trace for the medal and rings (We used a Calamine lotion bottle because it was sitting right there, proving that everything is an art tool if you’re creative enough!)

• Scissors

• Hole punch

• Markers

• String

Steps

- Trace a circle for the medal shape and cut it out
- Trace five rings in the center
- Whole punch
- Give kiddo to decorate
- Tie string
- Play a sport and award!
