My son made this one in class, so I'll just show you what it looks like so you can make it too.
The body of the dragon was cut out from a red envelope, but you can also use red paper. They folded down the face portion and drew scales and a face on one side.
(Also, you'll notice they used a bit of glitter to give it a bit more pizazz.)
This is what the dragon looks like with the face folded over. The popsicle stick is glued to the back of the folded over face.
Colorful tissue paper strips were also glued on. The flutter really prettily when the dragon flies around.
And here's how you hold your puppet/ kite!
I hope you have fun trying out this Chinese New Year craft with your kiddos.
