The 2024 Lunar New Year begins on February 10 and it will be the Year of the Dragon. No wonder that we make dragons with the little monsters, one that breaths fire, no less. This dragon is easy to make with a little help from an adult and it sits on a stick. It's great fun to run around with your dragon! Through theliving room and then into the garden, the monsters love it!
How to make a fire-breathing dragon on a stick
Paint a cup red or pink and allow the paint to dry..
Cut the bottom from the cup (by an adult).
Draw the back of the head on red card board.
Neatly cut the spikes out of the red card board.
Set the cut out card board aside with the drying cup
Draw 2 large eyes and cut both out.
Fold a small edge on the underside.
Stick the 2 caps on the eyes.
Draw pupils on the caps.
Stick the eyes onto the cup.
Stick on the spikes.
Let the glue dry completely!
Cut red, orange and yellow strips, while the glue is drying
Stick the strips into the mouth of the dragon.
Poke a hole on the underside.
