It is amazing what you can do when you are creative!
Take these fire-breathing dragon mitts (idea from Martha Stewart).
Buy a pair of mittens from the dollar store.
Cut out some felt 'dragon-spine' shapes and sew by hand on the top part of the mitt.
 |
| I used two colours, sewed them together by machine and then hand sewed them to the mitts. |
Sew on a felt tongue and some button eyes (or you can embroider on the eyes)
Accompany them with a short chapter book- My Father's Dragon (1948) by Ruth Stiles Gannett.
 |
| the first in a trilogy.... but this one is my favourite of the three |
Put them in a nice tin...
and there you go!
Here's another colour combination.
