Chinese Dragon Puppet March 8, 2012

Handprints form the heads of these fun dragon puppets!

Chinese dragons traditionally symbolize potent and auspicious powers, particularly control over water, rainfall, hurricane, and floods. The dragon is also a symbol of power, strength, and good luck. The Emperor of China traditionally used the dragon as a symbol of his imperial power. Chinese dragons have the horns of a deer, the body of a snake, and the claws of an eagle.
