Olympic Game and Food Activity
by Mary Kate Villamor

Here are the games I came up with. I also did a search
for "Olympic food" and then decided to do a cake with white icing, with the
Olympic rings in M&M's. We will have pretzels and probably some
Hershey kisses. I looked for gold medal chocolate but couldn't find any. I
spray painted baby food jar lids gold and hot glued red, white, and blue
ribbon to the back for their gold medals. I hope it turns out to be a fun
evening!! Thanks again for all your ideas...it got my creative juices
flowing!
P.S. - Oh and I found some ideas on this birthday party website. A lot of
people had had an Olympic themed birthday party and wrote a description...I
can't remember the website but it came up when I was doing a search for
Olympic food and games.
