Start with one paper plate. Draw the dragon head on the plate, then cut out. Trace the shape you just cut out and cut another head out.

The next step is to make a wing. You can also use one wing to trace the other. Keep in mind that you want the edge of the plate to be the edge of the wing. It looks so fun!

Cut the center of the body out using another paper plate. You’ll want two oval shaped pieces of relatively the same size.
