Who doesn't love recycling boxes to do a bit of junk modelling! If you are looking for a dragon craft or an activity to celebrate Chinese New Year have a go at making this simple dragon puppet. We had so much fun making and playing with him.

How to make an egg box dragon puppet
How to make an egg box dragon puppet
The first thing that you will need to do to make your egg box dragon puppet is paint one of the egg boxes red. This will be the dragons head.
Cut out 2 sections of the second egg box to make your dragons eyes. Paint the front white and the top red. Wait for the paint to dry and then add 2 googly eyes. Glue to the first egg box using hot glue.
Cut a small section out of the bottom of the head (big enough for your hand to fit in)
Draw around your hand on the red card, cut the shape out and stick it onto the side of the dragons head. Repeat for the other side. Glue a piece of red fabric to the back of the dragons head.
Once dry your dragon will be ready to play with.
Put your hand inside the hole at the bottom of the egg box to make the dragon open and close his mouth, just watch he doesn't eat you!
