Guest sn0wdr0p Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Puff the magic dragon - the book and the song. Dragon eggs made out of paper mache round a balloon. I'm sure I have a book about a little dragon that could not breathe fire - I will raid my sons bedroom and find out what it is called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 check out ABCdoes.com dinosaur eggs, could certainly be adapted to be dragon eggs. I'd be designing and building dragon traps and practising saving damsels in distress from them, some great drama and physical games to be obtained from this interest. Have fun!

Guest Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Chinese new year in a few weeks, we had a visit from pets at home with a bearded dragon lizard last year. There's a Julia Donaldson story about a dragon, think its called 'zog' Debx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_26037 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 My children have loved George's Dragon by Claire Freedman - about a pet lizard that is really a dragon, how he is a problem and George's parents want to get rid of him and then they discover his own unique talents and decide he can stay after all. We did lots of describing work, pictures and making up ideas for our own dragons with it. There's one of the Usborne books 'That's not my dragon...' What about making your own version of it and then doing some related work on textures etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
