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!
