Warm greetings from Perth, Western Australia! It's such a pleasure to be guest posting here at Sun Scholars. My name is Miya and I am the creator of the children's craft blog: Jellyfishjelly. The project I am featuring today is my 'Flying Dragon Puppet'. You can find this, and many more fun arts and crafts activities, by browsing My Project Gallery.

Flying Dragon Puppet

This dragon has the same basic construction as my ‘Crawling Caterpillar’. Plastic cups and card rolls comprise the main body. By adding puppet strings the dragon can move as it flies. Click here for full instructions (Pdf). The instruction sheet also features a range of dragon head designs (including the ones pictured below) to print and colour.
