Dreamcatcher - Pack of 12

The Dreamcatcher Pack is a creative and engaging craft activity that introduces students to cultural symbolism while supporting the development of fine motor skills and design expression. Each set includes 12 thick cardboard dreamcatcher hoops with pre-punched holes, allowing children to easily thread twine through and personalise their own patterns. With a diameter of 13.3cm, these dreamcatchers offer ample space for decoration using markers, crayons, or paint, as well as the opportunity to embellish with included beads and feathers.

Ideal for both individual and collaborative projects, students can explore repetitive patterns, symmetry, and texture while learning about the cultural origins and significance of dreamcatchers. The pack is also an excellent opportunity to foster storytelling and creativity, allowing children to craft not only a visual piece but also consider the meaning behind it. A plastic needle and twine are provided for easy threading, and a guide is included to help educators facilitate the activity with cultural sensitivity and creative inspiration.
