Happy nearly new year! This year, we are celebrating NYE a day early as I’m actually on a trip away this weekend. I’m teaching my partner how to make potstickers so wish me luck.
Build a Dragon Craft
As it will be the Year of the Dragon, (which, let’s be real- it is the coolest zodiac animal) I couldn’t resist putting together this quick dragon craft. To make your own dragon, follow these instructions:
- Print off the version you want below.
- Cut out all the pieces (I tried to make the shape as easy to cut out as possible but sorry in advance as it’s still a but of cutting!)
- Attach some straws to be used as handles to one side of one body piece.
- Glue the other body piece on top.
- Fold the body to create the concertina effect.
- Glue on the rest of the pieces.
- Make your dragon dance.
Printable #1 – Outline Version
If your little ones want to colour (and you want to keep them occupied for ten minutes), then here’s the version for you.
Printable #2 – Colour Version
If you would like to save time, the colour version of my printable means you can start to build straight away!
I hope you enjoyed this activity, especially this is the first time I’m sharing my own artwork with you all. Please send me photos of your little ones’ creations to mamabearcantonese@gmail.com as I would love to see their work. Finally, don’t forget to check out my other New Years activities. 恭喜發財 gung1 hei2 faat3 coi4!
