Families Come in all Shapes and Sizes

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.
Building Houses
Bring out the blocks and lego’s. Help your children build homes with you. Have them describe what fills the homes they built.
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.
Create Stick Puppets
You will need tongue depressors or popsicle sticks, glue, crayons, markers, yarn, etc… Have the children decorate the tongue depressors… each depressor representing a family member. Did they forget anybody?
Put on a Family Puppet Show
Bring out some lunch bags and crayons or makers. Help the children make family member puppets out of the lunch bags. Let them put on a Family Puppet Show.
