Everyone’s families are different. Some families have a mom, dad and one child.
Some families have many children. Some families have pets and some families
have their extended families living with them…. such as grandparents or Aunts
and Uncles.
This post will be about Families and how everyone’s families are different.
The activities I am including in this post will help you to teach this fact
to your children.

Families Come in all Shapes
|
Family Portrait Puzzles
Sit down with your children and the Family Photo Album. Let each of your children
pick out a family portrait. Once they do make a photo copy of it, laminate it
and cut it into puzzle pieces. Let your children put their family portrait puzzle
together.
Wash the Baby
Bring out a Baby Doll, wash tub, wash cloth and towel. Encourage your child
to bathe the baby. Make sure they are being gentle…. babies are delicate.
The reason for this activity is to show that some families have babies even
if their family does not. Remember, families come in all shapes and sizes.
