Tomorrow is the opening ceremonies of the 2012 Olympics, and we are really excited.  We decided that we needed another simple painting project to brighten up our walls.  When I came across these fun pictures of the unveiling of Official Olympic and Paralympic Posters For London 2012 Olympic Games I became inspired.  I love the painting done by artist Rachel Whiteread, and it is something that my kids can totally do.

I love that she took all five of the Olympic ring colors and combined them in an abstract way to create this really cool print!

 We raided our recycling bin and toy cupboard in search of circles.  Rachel used all the same size circles to create her original print, but we used varying sizes to create ours.   I poured blue, black, red, yellow and green paint onto a tray so the kids could stamp their own abstract Olympic ring prints.

I love how they turned out, and they had lots of fun stamping the circles.

If you don’t want to miss out on any of the fun we are having at Housing A Forest, make sure to follow us on Pinterest, Facebook, Google + and Twitter.
