2nd Grade- Dream Catchers

2nd graders studied artwork produced by Native Americans, particularly dream catchers.

Day 1- Each student received a weaving reed. We wrapped the reed in pipe cleaners. Each dream catcher needed approximately 9 pipe cleaners. Students then attached their name to their hoop using masking tape.

Day 2- Each student received approximately a 6 foot piece of yarn. We tied the yarn anywhere on our hoop and wrapped up the webbing for our dream catcher. Next, students received more yarn to attach to the bottom of their dream catcher for the beads and feathers.

Day 3- Student added beads to the strings hanging off the bottom of their dream catchers. I then hot glued a feather into the middle of the bottom bead.
