Dragon puppets to fire up school holidays

Published on 16 June 2025

These school holidays, children can let their imaginations take flight with a magical hands-on workshop: ‘Make Your Own Dragon Puppet’.

The free events at libraries promises an hour of fantasy, fun, and artistic expression.

Inspired by the latest instalment of the beloved How to Train Your Dragon movie series, this workshop is designed especially for primary school-aged children.

Using paper, glue and their imagination, they will bring their very own dragon puppet to life.

“This is a wonderful opportunity for kids to get creative, connect with others, and enjoy a screen-free activity that’s both fun and educational,” library officer Alyssa Miles O'Bray said.

“We’re thrilled to offer a program that sparks imagination and brings stories to life through craft.”

“All materials will be provided and friendly library staff will guide the children through each step of the process so they can go home with their own unique puppet − and a big smile.

“Everybody loves fairy tales and adventure stories about dragons, so these workshops are sure to book out fast so contact your local library now to register your children.”
