Olympics hall of fame - sticky wall

The Olympic craze is still on in our home. Every evening we watch a little (30-40 mins) of the Olympic Games on TV no matter what's on. So far E. has seen handball, swimming, fencing, shooting (I wasn't very happy with that), water-polo and judo.

We don't just watch the Hungarians but all nations but of course we try to focus on the Hungarian victories. We've  won so many medals so far we can be really proud of our Olympians. I thought we should pay a tribute to them somehow and that's when the idea of a hall of fame on our wall came to my mind.


I put contact paper on the wall (sticky side out) with the help of some painter's tape. Then E. coloured the letters of the Olympic Games, which I printed from the net, using the colours of the Olympic rings.

She also coloured a gold, a silver and a bronze medal. We stuck them all up the sticky paper.
Daddy printed the picture of our Olympians together with their sports and I laminated them.

Next, E. put them up in the right column depending who won what kind of medal.

Szilágyi Áron (fencing) is to come to the gold medallists.

Congratulations to all our Olympians. We're proud of you, all!  

Olympic rings, medals and colouring pages

The Olympic games has just started and Hungary has already won 2 gold medals (swimming and fencing). E. is dying to do Olympic activities all day.

I printed her some colouring pages:

• Rio 2016
• Olympic rings
• Medals

She coloured and coloured and coloured. She used her new colour pencils we've just got her: Maped Duo colours

She loved this set of pencils as gold and silver colours are included too.

We talked about the Rio symbol of three people holding hands and dancing, the meaning of the Olympic rings (they represent the five continents where the sportsmen and sportswomen come from) and also mentioned they receive medals if they come first, second or third place. She was fascinated by the medals.

So on the spot I decided to make medals for her. I cut 3 circles out of cardboard. We painted one gold, we covered the other with kitchen foil (i.e. silver medal) and the last one E. coloured brown to reach a bronze-like colour.

E. took this photo of the medals

We pulled out an orange ribbon from Mommy's leftover ribbon box and we fixed  it cut in three pieces on the back of the medals with double-sided sticky tape.

As for the Olympic rings we used paper plates. I cut out the middle and we painted them 5 different colours: blue, black, red, yellow and green.

 We let them dry and then E. cut the yellow and the green so we can weave them into each other.

Some Cello tape and it was on display.

Little preparation and a great outcome.
