While Super Sam helped tame a dragon for Michaelmas week,
we got to work making swords and baking dragon bread!
Vance's sword was made from a fallen willow branch we found after a summer storm. Peeled, sanded smooth, and notched with a pocket knife (I did that part), all it needed was was some yarn to bind it together. Vance selected a lovely purpley-blue, and set to work.
Round and round, the yarn he wound...
I pulled it tight and tied it off, and Sir Vance's sword was complete!
Later, both boys helped mix up dough for our dragon bread
Though only Vance stayed to knead it.
Simple, yet ferocious, our dragon boasted many spikes, teeth, and even a few extra eyes!
But in the end, he was no match for our hungry tummies. Yum!
