Yeah, but some of these craft sites for kids are tacky. I guess kids are thought to be tacky. Here's one link: www.dream-catchers.org/make-dream-catchers-kids.phpI don't think a kid much above age 7 would want that hanging in their house. When some kids are 5, and some kids are 12, you're going to have a tough time, unless the older kids are mostly just helping the younger kids. Here is my idea for what it's worth. I used to use trimmed mulberry or willow, but whatever you can get without being out of pocket. I think some people have access to grapevine. In any case, I would suggest making the dream-catcher form yourself before the meeting. Then letting the kids use the rock stone, feathers etc. to finish the dreamcatcher. In that way, the project takes an hour, but even the older kids have something they can take home instead of tossing in the trash on the way out the door. Same website has the "adult" dreamcatcher directions to get you started: www.dream-catchers.org/make-dream-catchers.phpHope it helps! I even have a dreamcatcher from a, shoot, I forget what nation the lady came from who made it, but it's a "contrary" dreamcatcher. They're fun to put your own personality into them.
