Family Collage
Have the children go through magazines and find pictures of all the things their mothers do. Cut them out and glue them onto construction paper. The same can be done for dad. Another variation is to have the children cut out pictures to represent the people in their family and the things they like to do as a family.
Rock Families
Take a walk and have the children collect four or five different sized rocks to make a family. Bring them back and paint them. Then let the children play with their families. Encourage them to make up stories about their rock families. For example, have them name their rocks and tell what each one likes to do. Help them expand their stories by asking questions.
Take pictures of children with parents permission and do a photo album for daycare. Put special notes by pictures and leave this out so both kids and families can enjoy. Also, have parents to bring pictures of the child and them and grandparents.

At the beginning of each year, we have each family in our center make a photo sheet of their family members, with names under
each. And put them together like the photo pages that are popular now. We clear contact paper them and hang them at the eye level of the children on the walls in their room. If during the day they miss mom or dad they can go "see" them on the wall.
