Hello and Welcome to Happythought’s How to run a Dragon puppet workshop book, featuring a few dragon hand puppet templates for your students to color and create.
Children and adults alike just love dragons and this puppet workshop idea is a big hit with groups of all ages.
Dragons offer a way for children to escape the realities of everyday life and enter a world of fantasy and wonder. Use this to engagement and focus to inspire the students into creating their own mythical creature, bringing it to life in paper puppet form.

In this Happythought guide we will take you through each step of preparing and holding your workshop, and give practical and thorough tips for how to get the most out of your class, workshop, event or party.
Learn how to put together an enchanting dragon puppet. These puppets are so fun to make and the results are really satisfying. Once you get the hang of it you can create your own dragons from scratch. Try different color combinations and add horns, teeth, feathers, wings. Start by cutting out a template and color it in, or if you prefer you can trace the template from the book. Take your time and add lots of colourful detail, make sure to colour the centre panel to, and the back of the head. Next carefully cut out your templates and glue your dragons together, following the steps in this book.
