Directions:
- First things first – grab your small paper plate and scissors.

- Now grab your choice of color in green craft paint and foam paint brush.
- Squirt some paint in the middle of the paper plate half and move it around with the foam paint brush, until the paper plate is completely covered.
- When done painting, set aside the paper plate to allow it to dry completely.
- Now grab your black cardstock and the scissors again.
- Fold the black cardstock paper in half and open it back up.
- Use scissors to again to cut straight up the center, to create two equal pieces.
- Reserve one black paper piece for today’s craft and save the other for another day.
- Now grab your various shades of red, orange and yellow colored chalk.
- Make several lines, all over the black cardstock, to recreate fiery flames for the dragon. Add as much or as little as you like.
- When done with the chalk, set aside the paper piece and clean your hands off with a few baby wipes.
- Now grab your remaining pieces of colored cardstock.
- Cut out some large circular eyes, thin rectangle eyebrows and small circle nostrils for the dragon from your cardstock paper.
- Once you have all your paper pieces cut out and the paper plate is dry to touch, it’s time to assemble your craft! Go ahead and grab all your paper pieces, the glue and stapler.
- Start off by stapling the painted paper plate half to the top of the black cardstock with the chalk lines. This is the dragon’s head.
- From there – you can staple and/or glue on all the various eye pieces and nostrils to the painted paper plate piece.
- Finish off by adding any other embellishments you see fit {maybe some teeth or pointy ears!}
