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.
