What you need: white paper, glue, container lids, paint brush, brown construction paper triangle for the bottom, and construction paper torn in pieces: yellow, red and orange.
The girls put glue on their torch bottom and put it on the paper.
They put glue at the top of the torch and put their paper for the flame on.

Torn paper collages are always a relaxing project to share with children, and you have incorporated collaging nicely with the Olympic theme! ~heather
Thanks we loved doing it. Every Mary who is 2 did a great job at it!
CUTE! What a great way to make a torch! We love putting glue on with a paintbrush too!
Always fun to do different things!
Such a cute project especially with the Olympics coming up! Thanks for sharing it with us at tip toe thru tuesday!

Welcome!
Cute torches! I love that you connected the craft to a book. It’s such a good way to deepen the experience.
The girls love any time we do crafts with books.

Great idea for a companion story. Little ones love tearing paper!
Yes they do!
Those torches are great! We may have to make those soon. My kids enjoyed the mazes at lunch today. The simple trace-the-line ones were perfect for my littlest one. What a good idea! We also made glittery Olympic flags today: http://www.examiner.com/article/make-a-glittery-olympic-flag. Thanks again for the great printables!

What a cute project! This is darling.
All these great Olympic crafts I keep seeing make me wish (for the first time in years) that we had TV service so we could be more engaged in all of the hype!
You can always find older Olympics stuff online. We have watched a lot of different older Olympics.
Great idea!!! We are working on cutting around here and have lots of scraps so this would be such a fun one for all 3 of mine–the 2 year old does lots of torn paper art! Thanks for the idea!
Oh they’ve done a great job of these. So good for practicing fine motor skills and the end result is brilliant.
