This is the final day of the Coloring and Craft Blog Countdown to the Olympics. Perhaps you can gather you crafts and coloring together and have a fun Olympic themed party as you watch the Opening Ceremonies for the Olympic Games in Beijing 2008.

Today's Olympic coloring/craft countdown pages are of some recipe ideas to make and enjoy, as related to the Olympics.

Fireworks Crafts

The 4th of July is approaching and a recent experience of stopping at fireworks stands in states that they are legal with a kid that never got to walk around and choose fireworks to buy got me thinking of some fireworks themed things for kids that live where you cannot legally have/buy fireworks. Thus I looked up some fireworks crafts that are a good safe alternative for kids to enjoy making.

Indiana Jones Coloring Pages

I am working on planning an Indiana Jones birthday party for my brother and was looking for coloring pages. Thought I might as well share the ones I found.

Indiana Jones Digitally Rendered Coloring Pages: These are interesting and include scenes from the latest movie, however, as coloring pages they are not the clearest things. I, however, really like the Lego Indiana Jones ones, such as this one.

Good Indiana Jones Coloring Pages: This site has six scenes from the original movies and they are much better done to actually be colorable.

Indiana Jones Character Coloring Pages: This site has five coloring pages that are purely of Indiana Jones.

Indiana Jones A to Z Coloring Book: This is not the best done artwork, but it is unique and a fun way of learning more about Indiana Jones for newer fans.

Mother's Day Crafts

Mother's Day is coming up this Sunday. Here is a list of a few different craft projects I found online that would be fun for kids to make and give to their moms for Mother's Day. Certainly more precious a gift than anything store bought and it also is a great way to entertain the kids.

Flower Door Stop: This is an interesting craft using a coffee can and involves making fake flowers. If you have flowers in your backyard or somewhere else nearby you can pick them from, then that would be another option and potentially add to the time (and fun!) of making this gift. You could also try out these Coffee Filter Flowers as a fake flower alternative or to add variety to the bouquet.

Bouquet of Photo Flowers: Make these and put in a vase you already have or perhaps combine this craft with the Door Stop one above. If you go the route of using a vase you already have, then perhaps you can let the kid(s) decorate it with paints. Or you can try this Laundry Bottle Vase craft.

Home Sweet Home Photo Gallery: This is a cute craft involving making a house shaped diorama and adding photos in the house windows.

Baseball Coloring Pages

With the Major League Baseball season now under way it seemed a good time to find some baseball themed coloring pages for the kids to color. Here is some of my favorites I have found on the web. This should keep baseball fans busy for at least one rain delay.
