How to get the most from these
Dragons make big feelings visible
A dragon that breathes fire when it is embarrassed is a very literal picture of a temper. Children who cannot yet describe their own anger will happily describe a dragon's, and that is the first step toward naming their own.
Choose the dragon to match the age
Ages 3-5 do best with clumsy, gentle dragons who need help. Ages 6-10 can handle a dragon that is genuinely dangerous at first, because they can hold the tension long enough to enjoy the turn.
