Explore Native American Culture: How to Make a Cherokee Rattle Craft. Turn your everyday paper plates into a beautiful Cherokee rattle craft. Also, you'll love my free Native American Unit Study for Kids Who Love Hands-on Learning. Your child will enjoy it while you learn all about Cherokee customs, history, and who they were and are as a people. I am a fan of simple crafts using basic items that most of us keep on hand.
