Catching dreams at Korumburra Library

ON A CRISP and cold morning outside, the large activity room of Korumburra Library was warm, bright and filled with sunshine and colourful activity. 
Families gathered with many working in quiet concentration putting together their own unique dream catching creations.
Wooden rods were joined to form triangular structures and colourful wool was woven around the structure to create a bright web.
The children choose their own beads or feathers to attach to string which swung from the bottom of the dream catcher to make a vibrant and unique piece.
Myli Program Officer, Alison, led the Dream Catcher Workshop and commented that it was a fun activity that everyone loves to do.
“Everyone loves to dream,” she said and recounted her dream as a child to work in a library. It took her a few years she said, but there she was – dream granted. 
The beauty of the Dream Catcher Workshop is that it is an affordable and accessible activity that families can also do at home.
The structure of a dream catcher can be made with things found in the garden, like sticks and feathers, and wool can be purchased cheaply from the op shop and any craft items around the house can be added to create something unique.
The activity also helps with developing fine motor skills, creativity, imagination and of course catching dreams. 
This activity was part of Myli’s school holiday program.
