The Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics are 30 days away.  To start a series of winter Olympic related crafts below are some crafts and coloring pages specific related to the 2010 Olympics.  The crafts are a fun way to entertain kids and teach them about the different winter sports, which many kids growing up in Tucson are probably entirely unfamiliar with except seeing them on television during the winter Olympics.  It is also a great time to teach about the Olympic movement in general.

Official Vancouver 2010 Games and Activities Page - This page is on the 2010 Vancouver Olympics official site.  It has some fun print and fold templates to make three of the 2010 mascots.  The templates take some good cutting skills and the assembly takes some good attention to detail, so the craft make be simple in what to do, but takes skills making it better for older kids.  There are also 5 different coloring pages featuring the mascots.  The coloring pages can be for any age, as they are complex enough to be fun for older kids as well as younger kids.
