Materials for Olympic-Themed Activities

Now that you’ve got a ton of Olympic activity ideas under your belt, you may need to stock up on some Olympic gear. Here are some suggestions (I may get commissions for purchases made through links in this post):

• Kid’s toy torches
• Toga headbands
• Children’s togas or white sheets
• Olympic medals

These are just a few of my personal suggestions. Use what you have on-hand, or purchase things based on the activities you choose!
