How to Train Your Dragon – Colouring and Activity Book

Product Information

This includes two that show just the face of the dragon. These can be cut out and used as masks after they've been coloured in to add extra fun to your Chinese New Year celebrations. Generally, a dragon’s eye will be bright and shiny with a slit for a pupil. They could be pretty much any colour you want, but yellow or orange always makes a brilliant impact.

When colouring scales, try to create a gradient of the same or different colours to make them look more realistic. One way to do this is to start at the top of scale and colour in small circular motions pushing down hard (but careful not to burnish) then as you fill out the rest of the scale, ease up on the pressure, this will make it look as though the scale has different layers without having to colour in several layers for all of the scales! Once you've created, coloured and designed your own dragons, you could take things a step further with this Design a Dragon Egg Template Worksheet. Not only can they be decorated with patterns and colour, but they're also great for story writing inspiration, just like our dragons.

They can place them in a straight-ish line or give the illusion of the dragon moving by placing them somewhat vertically. Finally, you’re going to fit a battery-powered, remote-controlled tea light inside the toilet paper roll.

You can use my dragon pictures as posters to hang in their room (framed or unframed), cut out multiples, and use the figures to make a dragon collage.Celebrating Chinese New Year can be a fun and exciting way to teach children about another country's culture. The Chinese Dragon is an especially good way to do this, as children love the amazing colours they're usually shown in, as well as the magical stories associated with them. If you want to teach children more about the Chinese dragon, you'll be pleased to know that we have many more resources designed to help you do just that. Here are just a few that we think would work wonderfully alongside this easy Chinese dragon colouring sheet: A dragon’s wings are its most majestic and impressive feature. Think about whether the dragon is static, or in flight? When creating smooth even strokes around the wings this can imply that your dragon is static or in smooth flight, whereas creating blurry edges to its wings can look as though it’s just landed or is about to fly off. For a sports-based resource, try this simple and engaging Football Colouring Sheet. This colouring sheet depicts a group of children in football gear with their arms around each other, and might make for a brilliant addition to PE-themed displays.

Children may learn about mythical creatures through lessons on Greek myths in topic class; from reading a traditional tale in Literacy; or, learning about Myths and Legends from around the world: legends from the Sahara, Scottish Celtic traditions or the Sumer civilisation. Pasting the dragon on with its mouth facing the top would give the illusion that it is breathing fire! 8. D Is For Dragon
