Pete's Dragon

We loved Welcome to New Zealand and the Making Magic sections! I love how Writer/director Lowery talks about the film, “I look back on childhood as an adventure, and I wanted to capture that on screen in the smallest—but also the biggest—way.” The big—the creation of an irresistible 24-foot tall, green, furry dragon that can breathe fire and turn invisible—is brilliantly tackled by the team at the Academy Award®-winning visual effects company Weta Digital (“The Hobbit” films and “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy). But it’s the small moments between characters that so beautifully convey the film’s powerful message: the importance of friendship, family and finding one’s place in the world.

Will you be watching it this week or waiting to give it as a gift for the holidays? While you watch it, have the kids make some of these easy origami dragon heads. The full origami dragons are a bit difficult to make but these heads are totally do-able! We used these instructions.Easy origami dragon head
