I love to snowboard. It’s my winter sport of choice (love these Utah mountains)! So today’s Winter Olympic Game is throwing a few tricks on the Half Pipe!
Dude, We’re Shredding Down the Half Pipe
Supplies for Snowboarding on the Half Pipe:
- paper tube – empty paper towel roll or wrapping paper tube
- white paper
- tape
- pipe cleaner
To make the half pipe, cut your paper tube in half lengthwise, then cover it with white paper and tape it around. My son added a little yellow piece of paper to act like the stand where they wait at the gate before they go.
For our snowboarder, we made it out of pipe cleaner like our Figure Skaters, see that post for details. Then we taped on a small straight piece of pipe cleaner to it’s feet as the board. Now it’s ready with an impressive grab for the judges!
We’re celebrating the Winter Olympic Games all week. To see more fun and sporty activities, check out the Winter Olympic Games for Kids series. Go for the GOLD!
Dude! I’m thinking my boy would really like this idea. Super cool!
So cute! I was trying to think of something to do with my little guy related to snowboarding, so this’ll be fun. We’re going to maybe try an activity related to skiing later today. Thanks for sharing all your Olympic ideas. They are darling!
Such a cute idea, especially with all of the recent snowboarding coverage!! Thanks!
I have a free download on my blog today, a free Winter Olympics bingo game http://oopsey-daisy.blogspot.com/2010/02/free-download-friday-olympics-bingo.html.

Too cute! This is a great activity for my littlest son while we are watching the Olympics.
Thank you:)

Awesome! My son would love this one! He dreams of one day conquering Shaun White’s moves!
