Message from the Dragon
 

How often do you say to yourself, “I wish I had an idea for a simple art project”?

Well, let us remind you that Magic Dragon has a “box” of projects stashed on our web page under the “Activities” link.

Each issue has one page titled “How To . . .” that gives clear directions for a simple project using supplies that can often be found around the house or classroom. Some of these projects include How To make:

Paper beads

Stained glass animals

Foil leaves

Collage stars

Crayon resists

Paper batik

Coffee filter animals

Stencil art

Pinwheels

and one of my personal favs – String Drool!

So, all you teachers, parents, and kids – go to the Magic Dragon website and look up one of these easy projects. Start making those holiday gifts for family and friends. And send some samples to us while you’re at it. We’ll consider publishing some of the results in a future issue!

And speaking of gifts, how about giving a subscription to Magic Dragon to your local library? It will be a gift to the children and teachers and parents who read it, a gift to the library, and a gift to you because it’s tax deductible!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
