Here's what you need:
- A big cereal box (the kind you get Shreddies or Cheerios etc. in)
- A paint brush
- Gesso or white acrylic paint (optional)
- Poster paint
- Tissue paper and PVA glue (optional)
- Some yellow, orange and red paper
- Felt pens
- White card
- A long cardboard tube (like the ones you find inside rolls of wrapping paper)
- A green recycling bag
- Cellotape
- Double sided sticky tape
Paint your box with gesso or white acrylic. This isn't essential but it means the text from the cereal box won't show through the poster paint at all.
Next draw the dragon's snout on the front and the lines shown below on both sides of the box.
Cut along these lines so that your box now looks like this.
Fold down the two flaps inwards (they might need a trim) and tape them into place. Next stick down the loose side of the box to the top of the snout and tape over the edges for extra strength.
Paint the dragon your most dragony colour (I also covered mine with torn green tissue paper and PVA glue for a scaly texture, but this is not at all necessary, just paint would look great) and cut jagged shapes into the cardboard behind the head.
Draw nostrils, eyes and a pair of horns onto white card. Cut them out and stick them into place. Make a fiery tongue and stick it into a little slit you cut into the front of the snout. Secure from the inside with tape.
Cut a hole in the base of your dragon. Stick your cardboard tube up and secure with cellotape.
Cut the sealed bottom off a green recycling bag and stick to the inside of the dragon's head with double sided tape. Cut jagged shapes into the bottom of the bag and there you have it - one dragon ready to be conquered by your knight!
