Fun Facts

The Olympic flag features five interlocking rings in blue, yellow, black, green, and red. These colors were chosen because at least one of them appeared in every national flag at the time the Olympic symbol was created.

The rings represent the coming together of athletes from around the world in friendship and competition.

Olympic-themed crafts are a great way to introduce kids to geography, cultures, and world traditions while they create something colorful and fun.
