Dream Catchers


I had a great time with this activity! It was something different, I never thought about making dream catchers as an art activity but it was a lot of fun. It really enjoyed working with the beads and creating patterns from them. I would definitely use this art activity in my classroom. I actually had the opportunity to see it used during my junior field experience. The students were learning about Native American history and we made dream catchers and teepees. The students had a lot of fun creating them! I would also incorporate this art activity into a math lesson and the creation of patterns. During math the students learn about number and shape patterns. Therefore, I could use this activity to practice patterns with the beads and colors.
