My girls love the Dragon Masters Book Series by Tracey West. Over the last year, we have collected and read every book. They love reading the books and acting out and making up their own stories.

Over the summer they were trying to play a made-up Dragon Masters game but they didn’t have any dragons from the books. I told them they should make some Dragon Character Puppets from Dragon Masters Books.

After a bit of brainstorming we decided to use toilet paper rolls and egg cartons to make the puppets.

Tips:
  • While the dragons are drying apply hot glue to a Popsicle stick and attach it to the back of the dragons.
  • After the dragons have dried punch holes in the back and tie a piece of elastic cord to the puppet. Then the puppet can be added to a stuffed animal for a mask.
  • Or add holes in the eye area and the kids can wear the puppets as masks. My girls preferred to hold the dragons as they played.

The dragon character puppets from Dragon Masters books is so fun to make. The girls really had a lot of fun creating their little dragon friends.
