Dragons



 With Michaelmas, the feast of Saint Michael approaching it was time for a little dragon fun.  This craft was inspired by a tissue paper hat.  I drew a dragon and copied it on our school printer due to the amount of children I work with.  Then I cut up colorful tissue paper in small piece for an easy crumple.  Each child with free to color and dress up their dragon with crayons and tissue dots.  To make the tissue dot crumple the paper and lightly dip it into glue and let the magic unfold.

Pom Poms






Apple so Red
How it went. It was really fun for the children they said they felt like their where wrapping pasta on a fork.  We made wonderful red apples and found the easiest way to tie them was take the whole bundle of yarn off the fork, find the middle and cut it in half, then lay it down on the table and use another piece of yarn to tie the middle tight.
