Family Gallery
At the beginning of the year, ask parents to provide photos of family
members and pets that can be hung by their child’s cubbie or space for
personal belongings.
If a family cannot provide photos, ask permission to take a photo of parents
or family members when they bring the child to the Center.
Gather photos, craft, or popsicle sticks, and glue to construct frames ahead
of time.
Glue four overlapping craft sticks together in a rectangle shape to construct a
picture frame for each photo.
Invite the children to decorate their picture frames by dabbing on paint with
cotton balls or small sponges.
After the frames are dry, trim the photos and tape them to the frames.
Hang the framed photos at the children’s eye level on or near their cubbie
with sticky putty.
As children go to their cubbies to put away jackets, ask them to identify the
family members in the photo.
Be sure to learn the names of siblings and pets so you can ask about them
and their activities.
Two year olds will often point to their friend’s family members and identify
them, “That’s Aida’s mommy.”
