It can be a fun family activity to make a family tree. Little ones can learn a lot by having a visual aid to teach them about their family. Children know and feel loved by their family members but may not fully understand what makes them family.
A family tree can:
- Provide a visual aid
- Introduce concepts of Aunt, Uncle, Grandma, Grandpa, Cousins
- Help child understand blended families
- Be a fun family project
Be creative in making your family tree. Every family is unique and your family tree should reflect that. You may even make it into a scrap book. While making your tree you can tell stories, memories, and pictures about certain family members. This creates stronger bonds and a great family concept.
This week at The Academy of Gateway we have been putting up our family pictures and talking about the different members of our family. We have been making creative pictures of our families and further developing our self concept through self portraits.
