The Gift of Family
Take photos often of your child with family members. Set aside some for gifts.
Here’s a simple gift idea for family members to cherish:
•
•
•
•
Glue four overlapping craft or popsicle sticks together in a rectangle shape
to construct a picture frame for each photo. Let the frames dry.
Put the glued frames on newspaper for your child to decorate with paint or
stickers.
After the frames are dry, trim the photos and tape them to the frames.
Invite your child to help you wrap each framed photo to give as a gift for a
special member of the family.
Boo Boo Kit
Create a special first aid or “Boo Boo Kit” with your child.
In a small box, let him place a few bandages, tissues, and a small tube of “Boo Boo
cream” (anti-bacterial cream).
Encourage your child to help you use the Boo Boo Kit when one of you gets a
small scrape. Let him rub the cream on your scrape and you rub it on his. Let
him know that caring about others is kind.
Encourage your child to ask for the Boo Boo Kit when he sees another adult or
child who has a little hurt.
Place the Boo Boo Kit on a shelf within sight, but not within reach.
A variation of this is to make a Boo Book Kit for your child’s dolls or stuffed animals.
Put band-aids, tissues, and an empty tube of boo-boo cream or hand lotion
in the kit for your child to pretend to rub on the babies’ boo-boos!
