Colour them, cut them out, or download the PDF to print at full size. Pick a dragon below and print or download it.
Make a Chinese New Year dragon
The dragon is the star of Chinese New Year! Make a dancing dragon puppet by colouring the head and tail, then joining them with a long strip of paper folded concertina-style; tape a craft stick to each end so it wiggles and swirls just like a real dragon dance. It's a wonderful way to celebrate and learn — in Chinese culture the dragon is a much-loved symbol of strength, luck and good fortune. This is a perfect craft for the Lunar New Year in late January or February.
Fantasy dragons and brave knights
Step into a storybook world with a mighty fire-breathing dragon. Pair yours with a knight for a classic dragon-and-castle adventure, or gather a whole band of magical creatures with a unicorn and a griffin. Discover lots more in the full animals collection.
