The Art Around the World Summer Camp featured China as its destination, where children explored China through storytelling combined with paper crafting projects. Working as an art teacher means the most heartwarming experience occurs when children explore new cultural experiences with their full enthusiasm and curiosity.

Creating vibrant paper dragons served as our main activity because these dragons represent power and good luck in Chinese traditions. The dragon-making activity engaged children between 3.5 years old and 7 years old who assembled their dragons through paper strip folding and cutting with glue use. Children could detect delight as the eyes on their dragons moved in a festive way.

The activity provided more than basic crafting because it let children experience both artistic activities and sensory experiences. Through their activities the children devoted full attention to developing their fine motor skills and learned Chinese traditions simultaneously. Watching children display their handmade dragons with pride produced an invaluable sight of delight. The children made art that let them experience a global artistic tradition through their own individual creative approach.
