Talking Points
- Dragons are mythical creatures that are often portrayed as powerful and magical beings.
"Imagine dragons flying through the sky and breathing fire like in fairy tales!"
- Puppets are like dolls that we can move with our hands to tell stories or act out scenes.
"Pretend your dragon puppet is talking to you. What do you think it would say?"
- Creating your own puppet allows you to use your imagination and bring your ideas to life.
"What kind of special powers would your dragon puppet have? Let's give it a name!"
