Today we are going to talk about moms, dads, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles and grandparents. Encourage the children to think about who makes up their family. Ask your child if all families are the same? Ask how each family is different? Also, ask your child what comes to their mind when they hear the word family? When they hear the word family does it include their pets? Lastly, ask if people who don’t live at your house can be part of your family? On a big piece of paper write down the different responses your child gives you. You can also contribute your ideas so your child can see what family means to you as well.

Here is a way to introduce this art project to preschoolers: “In the story we learned about the angels separating the good fish from the bad fish. The good fish in the story are the Godly people that follow and act like Jesus, and the bad fish are the ungodly people that do not make good choices and do not follow Jesus. For art we are going to put the good fish in baskets.”
You will find the basket and fish patterns labeled “Fish Basket Art Patterns." Print out the basket pattern on white paper for each child. Print out the fish pattern on white paper and cut them out for children to color. After they are done coloring they can use a glue stick to good fish in the basket and bad fish outside the basket.

Now we are going to make a family tree. For this activity, you will want to pre-cut leaves, a trunk with branches and enough leaves for every member of the family.
Give your child a piece of construction paper and then hand the child the tree. Allow your child to glue the tree anywhere they would like on their paper.
Next, explain to the child that each leaf is going to represent a member of their family. Have the child glue the first leaf at the top of the tree. This leaf will represent them. If the child has any siblings have the child add one leaf for each brother or sister. These leaves should be glued close to the top of the tree. Below the row for siblings, add another row of leaves that will represent the child’s parents. A final row of leaves can then be added beneath the parents to represent each grandparent. As, you have the child make each row, explain that every row of leaves stands for a different generation. Lastly, we are going to include the names of each family member on the apples that symbolize them. (If you don’t want to write out every person’s name you could have the child glue an individual photo of each person on their designated leaf.)
