It has dragon's ears, teeth, mustache, and whiskers, okay? So, our first step is you're going to color your dragon. Whatever colors you like, this is what I chose. And then, we're going to fold on these dotted lines right through here, okay? So, I'm just going to go ahead and fold that to show you all how to make your dragon. So, there's one line. We're going to fold the other one just like that alright and then you're going to put you're going to glue the pieces as glue I'm going to use a glue stick but you can use regular glue too that will work glue, glue, glue. Alright, that should do. Here we go. I'm going to get some nice, firm creases like that. Alright, so your piece should, your dragon should like this right now. Next, we're going to fold into the shape of M, see an M or W but you want the mouth to go inwards. So, we're going to fold in half that way first. So, I'm folding like this. So, you're going to fold your dragon inside first and then, you're going to take his mouth down here. Fold it on the dotted line also. Fold it back just like that fold the eyes, the dragon head back. So, that's our M. Whichever way and then after you've colored your ears and mustache and whiskers you're going to and teeth if you want to color your teeth you're going to cut those out and glue them on up here so here's our ears and there's our sharp teeth and our mustache and then you can either hold it like this if you want inside the mouth like that or if you really want to make your dragon move and talk you can actually open that piece up that we glued here it's kind of like little pocket. Put your fingers there. You can put your thumb in the bottom pocket. Make sure our things are out, our teeth. Out and that is our Chinese New Year's dragon how cool is that I love to see pictures of this uploaded in our comments don't forget to do that okay so thanks for learning about a new holiday with us and I will see you next time bye.
