What’s the best type of glue to use?
Pom poms can be really tricky to stick to things, so I like to use a mini glue gun any time I’m working with them.
Do I have to use a toilet paper roll?
Nope! If you don’t like the idea of using a toilet paper roll to make your dragon, you can simply cut an empty paper towel roll or a wrapping paper tube to be about the same size as a toilet paper roll. Draw a line on the cardboard tube where you need to cut and use scissors to carefully cut the roll to size. I find it easier to use an exacto knife to cut down cardboard tubes – but an adult definitely needs to do any cutting with an exacto knife.
I don’t have green pom poms, what other colors can I use?
You can make your dragon any color you like! Try making it red, purple, blue or black. Or mix and match whatever colors you have at home. Who says a dragon has to be one color!?
