How to use the printable paper dragon templates
What you will need to make the paper dragons –
- scissors
- glue or stapler
- a blank piece of paper or card to assemble the dragons on.
- colored pencils or crayons (optional)
- split pins (optional)
These craft activities can be as basic as cutting and pasting onto a piece of paper. As mentioned above you can also involve coloring if you like.
Answer keys have been provided but it isn’t always necessary to use them. You can let your students get creative and assemble the dragons in any way they think is logical or fun.
Cutting the pieces out and gluing them to card or paper is the most simple method of using the templates. They can also be put together with a stapler although that is a little more tricky.
You can also use split pins to assemble some parts of the first dragon craft template so that it has moving body parts such as its legs and wings. Other ideas are to turn them into hanging mobiles or use them in dioramas.

You can also use the assembled dragons as creative writing projects. Once completed, ask your class to write a short story about a dragon. They can even be research projects where students can learn and write about the colorful history of dragons in any given culture or country.
