Paper Plate Activities for Older Kids: Paper Plate Dream Catcher
Lots of paper plate activities are designed for younger children, but this one’s for slightly older kids who are able to use a needle and thread. Dream catchers are traditionally made by Native Americans, and hung above children’s beds to catch nightmares while they sleep.
You Will Need:
- A paper plate
- Paint and a paintbrush
- A large needle and some wool
- Ribbons
- Beads
- Feathers
- Scissors
- A hole punch
- Glue.
How to Make It:
- Use paint to decorate the rim of the paper plate and let it dry.
- Carefully cut away the middle of the plate leaving the rim of the plate intact.
- Thread the needle with some wool and use it to sew a spiders’ web like pattern across the interior of the circle.
- Use the needle and thread to create a hanging loop at the top of the disk.
- Punch three or four holes through the opposite end of disk from which to hang decorative ribbons.
- Tie a knot at the end of each length of ribbon and thread three or four beads on the other end.
- Glue a feather to the knot in each ribbon, just below the beads.
- Tie the other ends of the ribbon through the holes in the disk.
- The dream catcher is complete, so now you can hang it above your bed!

Families First award to Suffolk schools
Chilton Community and Barrow CEVC primary schools have received the nationally validated award which recognises good practice when engaging and valuing parents, especially in the way the school is lead and managed.
Families First is a quality improvement framework developed by the National Association of Family Information Services (NAFIS) and the Family and Childcare Trust. The framework was developed as part of Suffolk County Council’s Raising the Bar focus on increasing educational attainment and aspirations for young people throughout Suffolk.
Councillor Gordon Jones, Suffolk County Council’s cabinet member for children’s services, said:
“I’m delighted that these two schools have been recognised for their hard work and commitment to keeping families at the heart of their everyday practice.
“As part of this framework developed through Raising the Bar we identified the vital need to ensure that parents were fully involved with the learning their child receives, enabling them to help shape their child’s future.
“This has been a very successful programme and I urge other schools across the county to find out how they can benefit from Families First training and accreditation.”
The Families First standards are designed to help schools:
- demonstrate how they keep families at the heart of their practice;
- support children throughout their education by helping parents to engage with their child’s learning;
- work with a range of partners including local authority Families Information Services to help families access a range of information, advice and support;
- improve their practice in working with families by improving their interactions with families through a robust self-evaluation process and quality improvement programme;
- demonstrate to Ofsted and families their commitment to valuing parents in the way the school is lead and managed.
Suffolk schools are encouraged to use the Families First Standards and self-assessment workbook for free as part of Raising the Bar.
For more information on how to acquire the self-assessment, or for information on the accreditation available please contact the Suffolk Families Information Service on 0845 60 800 33.
