This summer is all about the 2012 Olympics in London!
I sat down with the Happy Buddy yesterday to try and explain what the Olympics are and halfway through my lengthy explanation of athletes, various sports, medals, etc., the Happy Buddy said, “Mommy, could you please stop talking? Can we go play with my cars?”
Ah, well.
Here are some great Olympic-themed crafts that your Happy Buddies will love if you had a better time explaining to them what the Olympics are than me. 🙂

The Happy Buddy had so much fun stamping the colored toilet paper roll rings all over the page.
