"O" is for Olympics

"O" is for Olympics

Sometimes the best ideas for are the simplest.  A few days ago, my nephew C., who is two, noticed an advertisement featuring the Olympic Rings.  He is beginning to recognize letters of the alphabet, and he commented that there were letter "O's" in the picture.

As I began to explain that the picture was of the Olympic Rings, and not of the letter "O", I realized that he was right as well.  The circles in the Olympics Rings do look like letter "O's".  Moreover, many words associated with the Olympic Games begin with the letter "O", including "Olympics", "Opening Ceremonies", "Outdoor" events, "Outstanding" performances, "Ore" used to the make the medals, "Overseas", where many Olympic Games take place, and the "Oceans" that divide the five continents represented by the Rings.

"Opportunity" also begins with the letter "O", and I was not about to pass this one up.  We dug out our craft supplies, and created our own "O is for Olympics" alphabet craft.   Check out how we did it here:  "O" is for Olympics
