This is a quick one day make and take project for substitute teachers or parents with children at home. Usually I google "Native American shields" to look at designs and authentic shields. To begin, fold a paper plate in four equal sections. Then in each section draw shapes and designs or pictographs that are "the same" as much as possible, that mirror the the opposite corner. Then outline with black sharpie marker and color each design or shape with markers, keeping them simple and large. Finally paper punch around the plate holes that are two finger widths apart. Weave over under (or over around) with yarn, then finish the shield off with paper feathers. If shapes or pictographs are drawn large enough, these can be completed in one hour, give or take.
