There are no mythical creatures more majestic than dragons. Unicorns are wonderful, fairies and mermaids are wonderful, but dragons are on a whole other level. They can be friendly or less so, so there are many roles they can play in your child’s play.

We have 4 super fun dragon clothespin puppets for you, each one more beautiful than the other.

This blue dragon looks pretty friendly, doesn’t it?

How to make a dragon clothespin puppet

What you need:

Step by step instructions

Print out the dragon puppet template. We’ll show you how to make a black and white version, although a colored version is also included in the printable kit. There are brief instructions on each page of this craft project.

Color the dragon. We like to use markers or colored pencils for this drawing, and if possible, use metallic markers to help these majestic beasts shine.

Once your child is happy with the shape of the dragon, it’s time to cut out the dragon – just cut along the outline.

We are almost done with the cutting, the last part you need to cut is the line along the dragon’s mouth.

Apply glue to the clothespin (apply glue only to the handle, avoid applying glue inside the clothespin to prevent the clip from sticking).

Stick the head into one of the two halves of the clothespin…

…and body to body.

And that’s it!

You just made yourself a set of dragon clothespin puppets.
