Dragon Puppets are mythical imaginative storytime fun

Everyone knows Dragons aren’t real or maybe they are. We see movies about dragons, cartoons about dragons, stories about dragons so maybe in an imaginative way dragons are real. One way to make dragons come to life is when you bring them to life through use of dragon puppets. Featuring different styles, colors and backgrounds dragon puppets take on multitude of looks. There are green dragon puppets, purple dragon puppets, red dragon puppets and probably more that are not mentioned. The nice feature of any puppet is that you put so much more into a puppet than just your hand. When you put your hand into a puppet you bring it to life with your own personality so with each person a whole new dragon emerges. Psychiatrists should study what happens when people adorn a puppet because sometimes people who are quiet or withdrawn come out of their shell and display more life than ever shown normally. Maybe when people put a puppet on their hand it is as if they are now on stage, meaning it is time to perform so it allows them the opportunity to put on a performance. The Red Chinese dragon puppet commemorates the style of dragon used in the Chinese culture often used in the large street parade in celebration of their new year. Held cross armed it can with one hand you can easily work the head, neck, mouth and upper body. With your free arm and hand you can create movement of the outer leg or swish the tail.

Small children can easily work the red dragon finger puppet by simply moving their finger. Folkmanis does not forget the advanced puppeteer.
