Did you know that the Polar Bear, and the Leopard have been chosen as the new official mascots of the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games? Let’s get to know more about the Olympics through this adorable Mascots.
Amanda’s husband brought back this souvenir of his recent trip to Russia and it made me I’ll confess a bit jealous {see hers in the video} so I decided to look to see what options are out there for my kids that I could easily get online. I found a few options on Amazon {Disclosure: Affiliate links included}.
If you’re planning to watch the Winter Olympics this year this might be something to consider getting as a memento.
I’m hoping to do a few Activities with the Mascots to get us into the Olympic Spirit. Take a peek at our Video sharing Ideas for the Winter Olympics.
