Over the past few week the children have been working with salt dough to make their own Chinese inspired dragons.

The children started by mixing flour, salt and water to make a dough. They then use tools to shape and sculpt the dough into the dragon shapes. We then carved different patterns and shapes into our dough to add detail to our dragons.

After leaving them to air dry and then baking them they were then solid enough to paint and add further detail.

We looked at the Neolithic art style of the Ancient Chinese using the colours and patterns our dragons were ready to be decorated.
