In case you've got a dragon lover at home.... here are our two current favorite dragon books:
We've also been watching the How to Train Your Dragon
movies and series on Netflix. (Looking over the craft now, I think that series inspired the design of these dragons!)Alright, let's make ourselves a paper plate dragon!
First I folded the plate in half and traced the body. (You can make your own design, or just use my dragon template !)
Then, I cut out the head and tail pieces from the excess material. We also folded down our wings.
Then, I slid the head and tail pieces between our body pieces and stapled everything together.
Then, we went wild and used our favorite paints
and Sharpie Markers to decorate our dragons! Here's the one that I made....
and here's the rainbow one that my son painted!

DeleteThese were so fun for my class of K-2nd graders! It went perfectly with the book we read that day--Dragons Love Tacos! Thanks for the template, it made the dragons so easy to make! A couple of kids even cut out fire to glue to the dragons' mouths (since that's what happens in the story). Thanks again, I will keep this craft saved for many classes to come!!!

ReplyDeleteThis is a super cute idea and we enjoyed making them, but the dragons didn't really fly :( We figured that maybe they would fly like paper airplanes. Super cute though!
