If your kids are wondering who all those people are that they saw over the holidays as you rushed between your aunts and uncles and in-laws, make a family tree with our season tree wall stickers to show them how you are all connected. It is a great way to decompress after the holiday excitement while cherishing the joyous memories of the time spent with family.
Take photos of all your relatives (and copy or photograph old photos of relatives who have passed, if you want to include them too) and get a photo sheet of thumbnail photos made. If your baby is too young to see them, use wallet-sized photos. Put them on the leaves of the trees to create a family tree and talk about all the branches of the family. During the year, your child will enjoy seeing the photos of relatives as you talk about what is going on in their lives. And it will be a comforting decoration for your children to look at as they fall asleep.
But even if you don’t turn the season tree into a project with your children, it is a fun wall decoration that fills your room with life, even when the trees outside are changing color and their leaves are falling to the ground.
