What you need: 5 color construction paper, scissors, ring tracing shape (arch), glue stick, and white paper.
Rose and Amelia folded the blue, yellow, black, green and red paper.
They put a little glue on the ring tracing pattern to help it stay while tracing.
They traced the ring tracing shape on the fold. (This is similar to the idea In Lieu of Preschool had for hearts.)
They cut the outer edge of the ring first.
Then they cut the inner line holding on the center.
They glued the rings on their paper.
The final product:

What a clever activity! I love all the fun olympic ideas you posted.
Thanks we have so much fun doing them!
Such a great idea! My daughter is just learning to cut so doing the fold-in-half idea will be a treat when she sees it’s a circle! We’ve been up to some Olympic fun this week, too!
We have done several activities with cutting like this. The girls love it. It adds an extra step of fun to everything we are doing.
What a great idea. My 4 year old is amazing with scissors, but this sort of cutting activity never occurred to me. We’ll have to give it a go! Off to pin this
I got some of the idea from someone else. As mentioned. It is so much fun to do. Just an extra step in fun for the girls.
What great Olympic activities you’ve had already, Cassie! And this is such a fun idea to help gain practice cutting! I featured your post at the Living Montessori Now Facebook page and pinned it to my Olympic Unit Study Pinterest board at http://pinterest.com/debchitwood/olympic-unit-study/
Thanks for the feature! We have been having lots of fun with the Olympics.
