Let the games begin with these simple Olympic torches made out of tissue paper, paper plate and toilet paper tube. Then have a fun medal ceremony. These cute medals actually contain a cookie. How cute is that!

In the ancient Olympic games, if an Olympic athlete won an event a wreath woven out of olive branches —symbolizing peace in ancient Greece—was placed upon his head. Pay homage to the ancient tradition with a modern-day version of this wearable wreath.
