Create a family photo collage that you can "read" again and again.

Materials:

  • Family photos
  • Non-toxic glue
  • Heavy paper
  • Three-ring binder or photo album

Directions:

Create a family photo collage by gluing the pictures on a piece of heavy paper. Talk to the children about the people in the pictures and how they are all relatives and part of your family. You could store the pages in a photo album or three-ring binder. Each child in your family might like to make his or her own collage.

When you go on a trip to see relatives, encourage your child to draw about the visit. Add your own comments on a separate page and put these in a notebook to help your child remember the family members they visited.
