Dragon Handprint Craft

A great craft to celebrate the Chinese Lunar New Year!

Make your own:

  1. Print the template in this link: J&J Crafts Printable Pages – Chinese New Year cut out or draw your own dragon face and colour in as you wish.
  2. Glue on a red 12 x 18″ piece of construction paper  ( or 2 red 9×12″ pieces attached)
  3. Using red tempera paint and a brush, paint one hand with red paint and stamp on page under the dragons head.
  4. Repeat process number 2 as many times as you like, making sure to leave space in between each red print for the yellow hand prints!
  5. Once red handprints are relatively dry, using yellow tempera paint and a brush, paint one hand with the yellow paint and stamp in between the red prints.
  6. Once dry, decorate with markers, gems, glitter glue anything your heart desires!
  7. Voila!
