Here at Ruffles and Rain Boots, we love making our toys. The little one has been LOVING dragons lately, so I got to work coming up with a fun dragon paper roll craft that’s both easy and a fun activity.
This craft is just a paper tube with some tissue paper on the end, but she loved it (and I loved that she loved it). If you’re ready to make a dragon of your very own, let’s get started.
If you need to gather up some supplies, save this to a fun summer crafts pin board or share it on Facebook. That way, this will be easy to find and here when you’re ready.

Tips to Make This Dragon Paper Roll Craft
- Making this dragon blower paper roll craft is simple with the free printable template here. It makes cutting out the parts just a bit easier and more even for small hands.
- I recommend pairing this fun paper craft with a balloon. The little one had so much fun blowing the balloon around, keeping it in the air or just generally breathing fire on the balloon with the “flames” from the dragon.
- If you want to have a really good (noisy) time, put a kazoo from the dollar store into the back of the paper roll. Or you can skip it like it did because sometimes a kazoo is a lot.

If you have a few minutes and a bored kiddo, making this easy dragon blower paper craft is a super fast craft they'll be able to play with for hours!
Materials
- 1 Paper Roll
- 4 1/4-inch Orange Pom Poms
- 1 Sheet Each Red, Orange and Yellow Tissue Paper
- 1 Sheet Green Card Stock
- 2 Tiny Googly Eyes
Tools
- Scissors
- Glue Stick
Instructions
- Cut a length of green cardstock long enough and wide enough to wrap around the paper roll, then glue it in place wrapped snugly around the paper tube.
- Cut out 1/2-inch wide strips of tissue paper in each color. You only need between 10 and 12 about 8-10 inches long. Glue the strips of tissue paper around the opening of one end of the paper tube, about 1/2-inch inside the lip of the tube.
- Cut two frill shapes from the template and four whisker shapes, from the green cardstock. Attach the frills to either side of the paper tube, on the opposite side of the tube from the tissue paper "flames".
- Glue the whiskers to the top of the paper tube, on the same end as the "flames", side by side.
- On top of the whiskers, glue two of the pom poms for nostrils.
- Glue the two remaining pom poms between the frills, side by side. Glue the two googly eyes on the front of these two pom poms.
- Allow the glue to dry completely then enjoy!
