A dragon that doesn't hang on a string! For small children it is not yet possible to let the dragon rise with a kite line. You must be able to take the dragon into your hand. This hand dragon is ideal for this. Through the corresponding folding it has a kind of "pocket" in which the child can push the whole hand and thus take the dragon as with a hand puppet. With large arm movements the dragon moves and dances. Frings on the sides of the dragon and a dragon tail make the dragon "live" look.
Try it out, the kids will love it.

Take a colorful copy paper and put it across the street.
Fold the lower side up. Corner to corner.
Strip the break with the flat hand smoothly.
That's what it looks like.
Open the folded paper again and put it up in front of you. The folded fracture now points to you.
Take a lower corner and fold it to the center line.
A triangle emerges.
Repeat the whole with the other corner. That's how a lace is created.
Turn the paper around and repeat the whole thing on the other side.
All four corners are now folded to the centre line. A tip has been created at the top and bottom.
The lower tip is folded again. Take the outer lower corner and fold it back to the centre line. The lower edge of the leaf is now located along the centre line.
Strip the fracture smoothly.
Repeat the whole thing on the other side.
Make sure you get a decent tip.
Now the kite shape is already ready.
The upper part of the kite is shorter. The lower side is still at the top. Lift both folds a little high.
Bending the folded parts a bit apart.
Put the paper below up and fold the fold back.
That's what it looks like.
Place the short triangles upwards on the other side as well.
The upper sides are now also on top.
Take a tape and glue both triangles together.
Glue another adhesive tape to the middle of the lower triangles so that they don't open.
Now you can reach into the upper tip with your hand.
The dragon can now be taken like a hand puppet.
Turn your hand and you can see the front of the dragon.
The front of the dragon is now still decorated.
Take a piece of paper and fold half of it.
Put a circle on the paper.
It's gonna be the dragon's eyes.
Cut out the circles twice.
Put the pupils on your eyes.
The nose is crafted from a small paper residue.
Cut out the circle, that's the nose.
Stick eyes and nose on the dragon.
Hold it tight.
Finally the mouth is missing. This one is painted.
Now you need the wool. Cut off all the short threads.
To the left and right, the wool threads are glued on as fringes. Fold the doubly lying tip on the side a little.
Glue some wool threads to the side.
Place another adhesive point on the top of the paper and press the paper on the threads.
So the thread ends disappear in the inner of the fold.
To keep everything going well, attach a clothes clip to it. Thus, the papers are pressed together.
Repeat the same on the other side.
Leave the clothespins on the sides until you are completely finished with the crafting.
Cut off some long wool threads. These can have different colors and lengths. (approximately 30cm long)
Place the threads so that all thread beginnings lie together on one side.
Make a knot here.
Attach the threads at the bottom of the kite with an adhesive strip. The adhesive strip should lie below the knot that the wool does not slip out.
Now remove the brackets from the sides.
The dragon is ready.
Grab the upper triangle (on the back) of the dragon with your hand. Now you can let it dance. The wool threads of the dragon tail can fly in the air.
Have fun trying out.
