Dragons Day
Today we are joined by Bridget Supple author of 'Dragons on the Wrekin'. Since moving to Shropshire in 1986, the Wrekin has been part of Bridget’s Shropshire landscape. This story was inspired by the sight of the Wrekin as she went about daily life with her four children.
When not dragon spotting, Bridget works for the NHS and a national charity teaching new and expectant parents. She lives in Newport, Shropshire with her husband, four children and a menagerie of pets (but no dragons!)

Make Your Own Fire Breathing Dragon Craft
This fire breathing dragon made from a toilet paper roll or rolled up card is an easy kids craft that uses simple craft supplies. When you blow into the end of the tube the tissue paper looks like flames coming out of the dragon’s mouth!
