Decide beforehand what art materials you want to let your students use to decorate their dragons. Paint is a wonderful option. You can also use crayons or markers. You can even allow students to use tissue paper squares to cover their dragons.
Students will be creating a picture of the baby dragon and his mommy. If you cannot find two dragon outlines, you can also just create the baby dragon. Pass out the dragons to your students. Allow them to paint the dragons using paintbrushes or their fingers. Make sure students’ names are on them. Then, allow them to dry. Once they are dry, allow students to cut them out.
Pass out a sheet of blue construction paper and glue to each student. This will be the night sky that students will glue their dragons too. Allow them to decorate the night sky using the crayons and markers. Once they are finished, have them glue the dragons onto the sky.
These pictures make a wonderful bulletin board display or hallway decoration. Some great bulletin board titles would be, “Den of Dragons” or “Dragons, Dragons Everywhere.”
