Make an Olympic Torch
The Olympic torch is a widely-recognised symbol of the
Olympic games with its origins going back to Ancient Greece, when a fire
was kept burning throughout the games.
Olympic Torch Instructions
You will need:
An empty small drink bottle
Aluminium foil
Scissors
Red/yellow/orange paper
Sticky tape.
Sand paper
Cut the bottom from the drinks bottle and discard. You may need to
smooth the edges for young children. Wrap the bottle in aluminium foil,
tape down any loose edges. You now have your torch.
To make the flame, cut flame shaped pieces from the paper and tape to
the inside of the torch starting with small pieces at the edge and
getting bigger as you work in.
