Printing the Olympic rings

Over the next few weeks we will be focusing our activities around the Olympics. From playing Olympic sports, baking medals and making our own torch. 

Today we started off by recycling some of our old toilet roll tubes for printing the Olympic rings.

Resources:

Poster paint in the Olympic colours

Toilet roll tubes

A large piece of paper. 

The children had a fab time making their own prints on the paper. I placed the paper on the floor in the garden as the weather was nice and it gave them more room to move around. To begin with G tried to copy the Olympic pattern and Little man choose his favourite colours to start printing. 

As the children got more stuck into the activity we discussed where the different colours go. 

After a while the children realised it would be much more fun to stamp all over the paper. What we was left with was a beautiful master piece fit to adorn our wall. The only thing I regret with this activity I not doing it onto canvas.
