Materials Needed:


Let's Make Some Dragon Wings!

  • Draw your wings on a piece of poster board.  (I drew a sample pair of wings on scrap paper first to get the right size for the kids. Then I used that design as a template for the poster board wings.)
  • Cut out your wings.
  • Give children a bunch of different items to decorate their wings. Use a paintbrush dipped in glue or mod podge to stick the items onto the wings. (We placed each type of decoration in a small bowl. Kids were allowed to grab and use whatever they liked. If you're worried about making a mess, you can place the wings in a big tray to catch all the extra sand and sequins.)

  • Once the wings are dry, staple on elastic straps and voila! You're all done!
