We recommend that students paint their paper plates with gold or yellow paint prior to the lesson. To save time, print the medal templates on yellow cardstock. You may like to provide other craft items for students to decorate their medals with, such as sequins, stickers and pom poms.   To turn this fun Olympics craft into an eye-catching display, simply print our Olympics Banner and hang the completed medal crafts around or under it!
