Winter Olympic Mascots & Activities

Winter Olympic Mascots & Activities
Did you know that the Polar Bear,the Hare, 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.  

Image Source Wikipedia 
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.

Check out these youtube channels that feature the competitions any time you want to watch.  It makes it so much easier to keep up with specific events or even just to learn about a specific sport rather than having the TV all day while the Olympics are taking place.  Plus our kids will be a school for some of the events.  Take a peek and be inspired by these amazing athletes.

    My kids like the leopard the best! 🙂 We've actually watched more of the Olympics with our young kids this year than I thought we would. Thank you for sharing all the amazing learning links to accompany the Olympics, too!
