Chinese New Year Dragon Craft

Materials

• 1 Egg Cartons (for 12 eggs)
• Dragon Template Printable
• Paint or Markers
• Online Printout
• Glue
• Dowel
• Duct Tape
• Scissors
• Tissue Paper

Instructions

1. Cut the Egg Carton in half, keeping the top and bottom together.
2. Use one half for the dragon head and paint it or color it with markers.
3. From the other half of the Egg Carton, cut two egg compartments and glue them to the top of your painted egg carton to be the eyes of the dragon.
4. Glue them closer to the cut end of the Carton. You can color the centers of the egg compartments dark to make pupils.
5. Glue the tissue paper on top of the eyes to make its hair.
6. While that dries, color the shapes on the Dragon Template Printable.
7. Then cut them out and glue them to the dragon head. There are two shapes for the left and right side, and one shape to make the nose.
8. Behind the eyes of the dragon, make a small hole in the lid of the Egg Carton and in the bottom of the Egg Carton. Slide the Dowel through these holes, leaving most of the Dowel sticking out of the bottom of the dragon head. Use Duct Tape to secure the Dowel to the Carton. 
9. Tie one end of the Long Fabric to the Dowel inside the Carton. 
10. Now you have a Chinese New Year Dragon Craft!
