This is our last Winter Olympic Game before the medal’s ceremony. We’re going to see who will win the Downhill Bobsled Race. The objective: to get your “bobsled” down the track first!
Supplies for the Downhill Bobsled Race:
- empty wrapping paper tube
- scissors and tape
- 2 toy cars
- paper and marker
First, cut your empty wrapping paper tube in half lengthwise. This will make for 2 long bobsled tracks.
With a small piece of paper and a marker, name the country your racing for and tape it to the top of the toy cars. I’m the USA and my daughter chose China (she loves Kai-lan!)
Get your “bobsleds” up to the top of the track, and let them race!
And the winner is… China, by 3 inches!
We’re celebrating the Winter Olympic Games all week. To see more fun and sporty activities, check out the Winter Olympic Games for Kids series. Go for the GOLD!

This looks like a lot of fun! We’ll have to start wrapping more presents so we’ve got a tube! ;o)
So simple and cute! My little guy will love this idea because he likes anything with cars. We did a little skiing activity yesterday that ended up being a lot of fun. You’ll have to check it out. http://toddlerapproved.blogspot.com/2010/02/mini-olympics-little-people-model-magic.html
