Chinese Sea Dragon

Imagine a colorful Chinese dragon swimming in the ocean! This make-believe creature can lead to many wonderful adventures.

1. On blue construction paper, create a tubular Chinese dragon with colorful Crayola® Model Magic®. Make its body in raised and imaginary lowered sections so your dragon appears to be both in and out of the water.

2. Decorate your dragon with contrasting colors of Model Magic. Create scales, ears, nose, and other body parts.

Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project.
