How many of you are totally sucked into the Olympics?  We are!  Last night, my daughter asked me when she could take swimming lessons again.  This coming from a girl who threw a tantrum and used every excuse to get out of the pool during last year’s lessons.
To get the kids into the Olympic spirit, we made  an Olympic torch craft.  These are so easy and quick to make and are sure to provide hours of fun for the kids.

Continue to glue tissue paper to inside of roll, creating more layers.

After you get a few layers glued, you can bunch the tissue paper together and stuff it into the middle of the roll to create the middle.
 
These are two very excited kids!
