*Indian Dream Catchers: Hand out paper plates and have the kids cut out the center of their paper plates and punch holes all around the inside perimeter. Then have them paint both sides of the plate. After the paint dries, let the kids weave yarn in and out of the holes until a web is created. Afterwards, punch three holes at the bottom of the plate and place a piece of yarn through each hole, taping the ends together with masking tape. Using the taped end, let the children thread small beads onto the yarn and then slide a feather underneath the beads. This creates a tight fit so the beads won't fall off. To hang them up, punch a hole at the top and create a loop with yarn.

*Native Head bands: Have the children cut paper strips to make a head band. Provide the children with feathers, glitter, sequins or other materials to decorate the headband and then staple or tape the head band together.
