“On the feast of St. George the kids get out their swords and shields, or make new ones out of duct tape and old cardboard boxes and they have battles with imaginary dragons (and each other, of course).” (excerpt from the CAY Compendium)

Do you have an aspiring St. George in your midst? No need to stress over how to make a sword and shield so he, or she, can get to the important task of slaying the dragon! Just grab these printables and you are good to go!

When you purchase this listing you will receive six different PDFs for printing on different-sized paper (8.5×11, 8.25×13.75, and 11×17).

How to make your sword:
1. Print the PDFs for the sword and shield that you would like to make.
2. Cut out the sword and shield images and trace their outlines onto a large piece of cardboard.
3. Tape or glue the sword front and back and the shield front onto their cardboard counterparts.
4. Optional: reinforce the sword grip with duct tape and create a vertical arm handle on the back of the shield with duct tape (stick two pieces of tape sticky side together anywhere you don’t want it to be sticky)
5. Slay some dragons!
