As we've been watching and "studying" the Olympics, the kids and I have made flags from different countries around the world. I selected countries for several reasons....first of all, I selected countries that are familiar to my kids -- where we live, where we've been, where we have friends living, etc. Secondly, I selected flags that they were seeing a lot as we watched the games. Thirdly, I wanted at least one flag from every Continent (except Antarctica). Finally, I selected flags based on how easy they would be to reproduce! Another goal I had was to exhaust my creative abilities (which wasn't hard to do) and come up with different ways to make each flag. (Thankfully, my ever-resourceful-friend Rachel stepped in and offered a few suggestions!) One has glitter, one used popsicle sticks, another used pipe cleaners. All are different! It was tons of fun for us all! All three kids participated in most of the flags, but a few were individual projects.
So, here's the quiz! How many of these flags to you recognize? The answers will be posted in a day or two.

Woohoo! I only had to look up 3. Do I win a prize? =)
Well done, Morellos! I'm impressed with your creativity and enthusiasm. The flags look really cool. You guys did a great job!
Hugs from Colorado!
I'd rather vote for my favorite than have to guess. So my vote is for K! your crepe paper turned out perfectly awesome!!! I'm still trying to figure out some of the other media used...I'll have to get definitive answers later on...
