My children have really gotten into the olympic games this year!   They have been watching them everyday with their daddy asking all sorts of questions about team usa, and cheering when we get a gold medal!

We worked on some fun olympic art this week, and I thought I would share with you a free download so your children can make some too!

I created an Olympic flag template to fill in with their favorite medium with blue, yellow, black, green and red.

I also made a team USA coloring page Flag download! <Click here to download>

You will need to download a free Olympic art page, and print it onto a white sheet of paper. Cardstock paper would work best if you plan to paint or use watercolors.

You will also need paint, watercolor paint, crayons, or colored pencils in blue, yellow, black, green, red and white.

Let your little ones choose what type of medium they would like to use, and fill in the Olympic rings in this order: blue, yellow, black green, and red.

For the USA Flag, alternate the stripes in red, and white, and fill in the stars with blue.

My little ezra hung them proudly in his room to show his support for the games!

Hope you are enjoying watching the games too!  Happy Olympics!

i enjoy simple toys for my children.  i love to see them play with toys that make the wheels in their heads start to turn.  blocks are a great toy, because every kid loves to play with them and build things.

as a mom of young children, i am constantly picking the same messes over and over.  so, it helps when the toys are pretty to look at while i’m picking them up!

we made these fun neon colored blocks.  and, they were very easy to make!  you only need a few supplies, and you can do any color you want!

i am sharing the full tutorial over on my post for hellobee today!  be sure to check it out, here!

there’s nothing like playing with beautiful things!
