Handprint Dragon
Five handprints combined with some paper shapes (cut out using our
template) produce this fantastic, fierce dragon - a fantastic craft for Chinese
New Year or a China theme, a fairy tale theme, or even St George's Day or St
David's Day.
You will need:
Coloured paper
Handprint Dragon template
Glue
Small white circle stickers
Black pen
Large sheet of paper
Print our template out onto card. Cut out and use it to draw and cut out a head,
mane, tail and two legs from coloured paper.
Draw around your hand 5 times on coloured paper, and cut out. Glue the handprints
in a line across your large sheet of paper to form your dragon’s body, referring
to the photo above for positioning. Stick on the mane and the head. Add the tail
and two legs. Stick on the two stickers as eyes and with the black pen draw on
the pupils, nostrils and teeth.
Variation:
1. Instead of cutting around your child's hand onto coloured paper, make
handprints with bright coloured poster paint on white paper. When dry, cut out as
before.
2. Make this dragon as a classroom project with as many hands as you like -
just give him an extra long body!
