Excellent, thanks so much for this link. I'm going to make myself one and see how easy it is, then use it for craft club, the kid's will love them.

Excellent, let us know what reaction they receive.

I had them bookmarked for my son's birthday table but forgot to put back time for them

Hi Ruthierrhyme
I made the dragon and it was brilliant!! The kid's were in awe, they thought it was alive. Even my family were stunned at how clever it was, I now have it on my windowsill and it moves it's head and follows me when i move, we have named it bud. Now i have to print out 60 for the children in my classes. I have a small video of it, it works really well, if you tell me how to upload it you can see for yourself!!
regards
Portchesterqueen

oh this sounds great, do you have you an account with you tube? I've not signed up with them yet so not sure what's involved but you're more than welcome to post a link to the video ..

If it helps, there's a whole help section at the foot of the page - Youtube.com

Best wishes, will go get some paper into the printer
