Chinese Dragon Craft
May 22nd 2009 00:10
My daughter was so impressed with our dragon handprint craft earlier this week that she has requested that we make a second dragon craft for Chinese week.
So we are going to attempt to make this colourful dancing dragon. We purchased a fax paper roll in order to make our chinese fan and the roll will also be useful for the dragon's fan-like body.
I also introduced the story of Mulan to my daughter this week and for those not familiar, it is a retelling of an old Chinese folktale about the story of a young maiden who learns that her sick father is to be called up into the army in order to fight the invading Huns. Knowing that he would never survive the war due to his health, she decides to disguise herself and join in his place. And much to the delight of my daughter, it also features a dragon named Mushu who decides to help her in the perilous times ahead.
