Families, Families, Families by Suzanne and Max Lang is a great book to start a conversation about families of all shapes and sizes! Each page of this book features a portrait of a family. Some families are big, some families are small, but all of these families love each other.

As you read this book, you can talk about your own families. This is a great book to share with a classroom at the beginning of the year or during family day. Talking and sharing stories with each other helps children build narrative skills. Learning about the way others live increases their background knowledge.

Extend the book with a picture frame craft!

You will need:

4 craft sticks

Thick cardstock

Hot glue gun

Yarn (optional)

Buttons or other decorations

Lay your craft sticks in a square shape and ask an adult to use hot glue to glue them together.

Cut the cardstock to fit the back of your frame and ask an adult to glue 3 sides to the craft sticks. Now you have a pocket that you can slide a photo into.

Optional: Glue a string to the back of your picture frame so you can hang it

Decorate the outside of the frame however you like. We used buttons but you can use sequins, stickers, pom poms, or anything else you have lying around.

Cut a family photo to fit inside your frame and slide it through the unglued side of your frame.
