once upon a time there were dragons...

Once upon a time

there were castles, and princesses,

and knights and 

fire breathing dragons...

This was a great project and the kids loved it.

First we cut and glued fun foam to cardboard 

in shapes of bricks, 

stones for castle walls, 

clouds and dragon scales.

Then we printed with acrylic paints because that is what I had - 

worked great.

The following week we each took our stash of building materials

and cut and pasted and built a castle.

And of course castles need princesses and dragons too...

This dragon was captured and thrown into the tower.

They were so proud

and I was so happy that they really engaged with this project.

Each piece reflects their personalities.
