I love this reminder that while dreamcatchers are lovely decorations and fun crafts, the meaning behind a dream catcher goes much deeper. WHAT IS A DREAM CATCHER?įirst noted in the Ojibwe Nation, dreamcatchers were hooped spiderwebs with protective charms created by Asibikaashi, Spider Woman, to protect children and the land. Legend has it that a dream catcher would catch harm that might be in the air as a spider’s web catches danger. This paper plate dream catcher craft was inspired by Happy Hooligans. My daughter and I love doing quick paper plate crafts together. Make this Dreamcatcher Craft from a paper plate and then talk to your kids about their dreams the next day.
