DragoFon is a tiny, long-necked dragon – only 7 cm tall and 10.5 cm long – with a curly crest, little wings, bendy fingers and toes, and big googly eyes. A thin wire frame holds his long neck up, so he can listen to a gramophone, peek into a nest or sit on your fingertip. Make him in soft shaded greens or dress up a whole family with a top hat and a wig.
