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!

Thank you so much for sharing this craft. I am not crafty and my kids were so excited to color this. Your template and directions made the craft very easy.
ReplyDeleteso glad you enjoyed this craft!
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!!!

ReplyDeleteGreat! :) Thanks for visiting!
DeleteVery usefull for kids,thanks u so much.
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!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, they don't fly. Hmm... I can see that the title may be misleading. I'll change it now! Sorry about that!
DeleteI did this craft on a rainy day with the girl I babysit. Thanks so much for the template, I used your design, using glitter markers to color them in. We also glued them to chopsticks so they sort of fly. We loved this craft! Thanks so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThank you for this dragon craft. One of the best books about dragons (especially for little girls) is The Paper bag Princess by Robert Munch. This activity will go nicely with the book for both boys and girls.
ReplyDeleteGrazie mille
