I saw this idea for a lacing dragon in a catalog. I got some wooden beads and spools at the craft store and stained them green. Then I used a permanent marker to add a face, scales and other designs. I put the head bead on and tied a knot in front of the mouth and then added the felt flame. I also tied a knot behind the head so it can not come off. Using a Dremel I cut a slot in the top of the head and glued the felt spikes in. Then I cut two beads in half and then glued them back together with the felt feet inside. It took only one day to complete. I put the dragon in a bag and carry it in my purse for a quiet activity. He loves to string th beads on and pull them off.

That is a great idea. I am sure that is a toy my boys would love. Any ideas on how to make it girly?
Wow! I think it turned out cuter than the one in the catalog!!
