Welcome!

This blog is here for you to find fun learning activities to do with your children. We share great ideas we find and love on the Internet, as well as ideas we come up with on our own! We also like to share resources we find helpful.

To find ideas for your child, click on the age range blog label or on the theme/topic you are looking for (on the left side of the page). In each post, we try to list optimal age ranges for the activity, but you must judge for yourself if it is appropriate for your child. When you try an activity out, please comment and let us (and everyone else) know how your child liked it!

Olympic Ring Coloring Page



This activity is good for working on your child's fine motor skills. It also is a good activity for following directions.

AGE RANGE
Preschooler and older. Your child needs to be old enough to follow instructions and possibly old enough to color in lines. Brayden did this well at 4.5, but it is definitely beyond 2.5 year old Kaitlyn.

PREP

  1. I Googled "olympic ring coloring page" and found this coloring page. 

  2. I copied the picture and pasted it into Word.

  3. I added a title for my own benefit. I like titles.

  4. I printed the page off.
ACTIVITY

  • Start by talking about what the Olympic rings symbolize. For information on this, see this page on Wikipedia.

  • The colors of the rings are specific. We got out each color for each ring. I then highlighted the word of each color for each ring in the respective color. So I highlighted the word "yellow" with a yellow crayon.

  • Have your child color the rings appropriately.
