🐉 My Very Own Dragon

Poppy sneezes glitter. What does your dragon do?

My dragon’s name is
My dragon’s favourite colour is
When my dragon sneezes, out comes
My dragon’s super power is
My dragon’s favourite food is
My dragon lives in
Draw your dragon here!

Now write a story!

A Day with My Dragon

Use your dragon from page 1. Write or draw in each box, or tell a grown-up and they can write it down.

1. Once upon a time…

Who is your dragon and where do they live?

2. One day…

Something goes wrong, or something surprising happens.

3. So…

How does your dragon use their special power to help?

4. In the end…

How does everyone feel? What did your dragon learn?

Word sparkles

Try using some of these: shimmering · enormous · tiny · whooshed · glowing · brave · gentle · sneezed · soared · whispered

For grown-ups: younger children can tell the story while you scribe, or draw a picture in each box. Older children can add speech: what does the dragon say? Poppy's stories in the Dream Machine are good models for a beginning, a problem and an ending.
