Getting into the Olympic spirit? Well, here is a fun craft project to celebrate the Olympics and to help you keep track of Olympic event medals. Matt Rogers showed us you how to make a DIY Olympics score puzzle on the Home & Family Show and I was given permission to share it with you here. You can tune in to Home & Family weekdays at 10 am ET/PT on Hallmark Channel. First things first, he suggests you find 20 Olympic events that you want to fill the score puzzle. You can check the Olympic schedule here. This entire DIY will cost you $50 but you can do it for even less if you prefer to make a poster board version of the Olympics Score Puzzle.
