Do
Quick Notes
Address several envelopes to your child’s grandparents. Then, when your child draws a picture or design, it will be easy to send it to Grandma and Grandpa. It is important for your children to have a little writing area or quiet space. The addressed envelopes will be quite handy for their writing space.
Family Recipe
Have your child help create or choose a special family recipe. It might be a recipe they make only with a grandparent. You can even create a small recipe book full of special treats that your child enjoys.
Family Tree
Materials: Construction paper; Magazines; Glue; Scissors
Have construction paper tree trunks and leaves available for the children to cut out. Help the children write the names of their family members on the leaves. The children can glue the tree trunk and leaves to a large piece of paper. It is also nice to allow the children to cut pictures out of a magazine that represent each person on their family tree. Have the children glue the picture next to the corresponding leaf.
