colored paper (red and yellow or other suitable colors)
two innocent eyes

Step-by-step instructions

You will need a single roll of toilet paper. Additionally, you can also use kitchen paper towel rolls or even buy paper rolls to make crafts for kids.

Paint the entire toilet paper roll. We painted ours red.

Wait for the paint to dry. You can have your child cut in or use a pencil to draw a spiral around the roll as a cutting guide.

Cut all the way around. Make one of the ends rounded.

This will be the head of this Chinese dragon profession.

You can leave the inside as is or repaint it.

Decorate the dragon’s body – you can have your child draw a few dots. We made ours yellow, yellow will look great too.

Add a pair of googly eyes to the head.

Cut two small triangles from yellow paper and glue them above the eyes.

Then, have children cut out fire shapes from red paper.

And another similar but smaller shape in orange paper and a smaller shape in yellow paper. Younger kids can only make one.

Ask them to glue these together.

Then, stick the fire under the head.

Cut a similar shape for the tail.

Cut one or two legs out of yellow paper and glue them to the body.
