These mixed media Native American Dreamcatcher projects will inspire your students to use different materials to create unique artwork with a cross-curricular lesson that celebrates Native American Heritage Month.  This project is designed for 2nd-5th grade students but can be easily adapted for middle school students.  

This lesson is highly engaging, multi-disciplinary, and contains 4 different projects. Components of the projects can be mixed & matched to provide a huge variety of projects. Set up stations, let your students choose a project, or let students use these projects to spark their creativity & design their own dreamcatcher. 

This is a great project for Native American Heritage Month (November), but can be used in conjunction with a unit on symbols, or anytime of the year.

This resource is in a PDF file and contains 60 pages. It includes: 

• Cross-curricular lesson with step-by-step instructions & photos for 4 projects
• Project & material variations
• 35 templates (reproducible) 
• Native American Heritage Month facts
• Cross-curricular & literacy connections
• Dreamcatcher facts
• Guide to using templates for activities
• National Core Arts Standards & TEKS (Texas) for 2nd-5th grades

Choose a different project for grade levels and hang the artwork together for a stunning display, let students choose their own project, or use templates for a sub activity.  With 4 projects to choose from, differentiation for your students is easy!
