Tape colored skating figures to craft sticks to make “puppets.” Kids can put on a show with their skating puppets, adding music and skating sound effects.
Fun Fact: There are two main types of ice skating – figure skating, which has spins and jumps, and speed skating, which is like sprinting on ice! Some skaters reach speeds of over 30 miles per hour.
4. Create Ice Skating Gift Tags for Presents
Have kids cut out the skaters and add small messages on each, like “To: Mom” or “Happy Holidays!” Punch a hole at the top and loop string or ribbon through to make unique gift tags.
Fun Fact: Ice skating first became an Olympic sport in the summer games of 1908 – yes, summer! It wasn’t until 1924 that it joined the Winter Olympics.
5. Make Your Own Ice Skating Storybook
Once kids color a few pages, staple them together to create a mini storybook. They can write a short story at the bottom of each page, imagining the adventures their skater might have.
Fun Fact: Did you know that figure skating started as a way for people to get around on frozen lakes in the winter? People have been ice skating for over 4,000 years!
