Today’s Paper Plate Taco Kid Craft goes PERFECTLY with the book titled Dragons Love Tacos by Adam Rubin. And just like the book says – the way to a dragon’s heart is always through his stomach. Sound familiar?

With just some creativity and some inexpensive craft supplies – you and your child can “host” a party for your very own dragons & create some one-of-a-kind paper tacos that are sure to impress the crowd.

So make sure nothing goes wrong at your party, by grabbing your materials RIGHT NOW and getting to work asap on making those delicious tacos. Don’t forget to read the Dragons Love Tacos book along with the craft and maybe even make your own tacos to eat afterwards!

Happy crafting, my friends! Please don’t forget to share pictures of your child’s Dragons Love Tacos paper plate activity! You can also pair our Felt Tacos tutorial with this idea, as well! #gluedtomycrafts
