With school ending and the summer approaching, you may need
a couple of craft ideas to do with your children on a rainy day. Here are a few easy and enjoyable crafts to
share with your children!
Craft 1: Paper Family Tree
Make your child’s family tree from construction paper. Your child can make a simple but pretty family tree and learn about family’s heritage.
Supplies Needed:
- Sky blue and green construction paper
- Crayons, tempera paint or markers
- Scissors
- Glue Stick
- Draw a large tree with many branches
- Cut out leaves from the green construction paper or use leaf rubbings that you cut out
- Each leaf will represent a person in the child’s family and should be big enough to write that person’s name on the leaf. Cut enough leaves for each of the child’s siblings, parents, grandparents and more!
- Write the name of each person on their leaf. You might want to include the relative’s relationship to the child.
- Glue the leaves to the tree. Put the child’s generation at the top of the tree, the parents at the second level, and the grandparents at the bottom.
You can make a great family collage to hang up around the
house or in your child’s room by cutting out pictures of family members and
gluing them to poster boards!
Supplies Needed:
- Family photos
- Scissors
- Glue
- Thick paper or poster board
- Markers
- Cut a variety of pictures of family members from photos into different shapes and sizes
- Glue the pictures, overlapping one another on poster board or construction paper
- Decorate the collage using markers, glitters, stickers or whatever else you wish!
