Olympics ~ Olympic Crown fit for a Winner

Olympic Crown

Gold medals first appeared at the 1908 games.

In the ancient Greek Olympics only the winner got a crown made of 

olive leaves and a pot containing olive oil. 

Supplies:

2 - 3 Shades of Green paper for the  olive leaves

Scissors

Glue Sticks

Thick Paper Plate

 Cut the paper into 4 long strips.  Cut a "rainbow shape".

 Cut an upside down rainbow shape.  You now have 1 leaf.  

Continue this until all of your paper is used up!

 Practice arranging them in a circle!

 Cut out the middle of a paper plate.  Use the outside ring for your crown base.

 Glue your leaves onto the base.

 Flip your crown upside down once the top is complete.  Run your glue stick around the base and place your leaves directly onto the plate, covering up all of the white.

Let's see those muscles!  Go Team USA!
