Three Kids Inside a Shaggy Lion Dance Costume

Three children work together inside a fuzzy dragon or lion dance costume. The head has a wide open mouth with zigzag teeth, big round eyes, a shaggy mane, and three long antennae topped with round pom-poms. A smiling boy in front lifts the head up with one arm while stepping forward with a raised foot. A second child peeks out from behind him, and a third child at the back holds up the spotted body and the tail, which ends in a flared fin. Stars float around the scene. The mane and the spots on the body give you plenty of room for different colors. Try red and gold for the head, then pick a bright pattern for the spots so the body stands out from the children's clothes. This free printable also works well for a classroom talk about how a group of people moves together to bring a festival costume to life.
