Sometimes little ones have nightmares and are scared to sleep in their own bed. Help your child make this dream catcher to catch all the bad dreams. Hang the dream catcher by the child’s bed and talk about dream catchers being old Native American traditions to prevent bad dreams.

Cut out 8” round construction paper. Cut small slits around the edges of the circle. Use yarn to weave around the circle (put the yarn through the slits) and decorate it with beads, sea shells, and buttons. Punch hole at the top of the dream catcher and hang it by your bed.
