These Family Photo Frames are easy, durable, and fun for young kids. It's great to get them talking and learning about their families. A circle time to share their finished frames and pictures with the other children helps speaking and listening skills. This activity is great for introducing and talking about diverse families, extended families, etc.
Supplies for these photo frames are as followed:
Craft Foam Sheets
Contact Paper for laminating
Stickers
Magnets
A family photo for each child
Contact Paper for laminating
Stickers
Magnets
A family photo for each child
For some classes, you may be able to find Craft Foam Frames already assembled (eliminate the contact paper if this is the case). Other times, if you'd like to do the craft from scratch the directions are as followed...Give the child their own sheet of Craft Foam with the center blocked out in the shape of their photo. Let them decorate, or make a collage with the supplies or stickers you have on hand, buy or gather for the occasion. When they are done decorating, place the child's photo in the center and use the Contact Paper to seal the frame and it's collage in place. Add magnets on the back if desired to make a fun refrigerator frame for Mom and Dad.
Fun things to let the kids glue on their frames can be decided upon based on a theme, season, or just free-play. Some fun ideas include gathering leaves (not dried up ones though! they'll crumble!) or pressed flowers on a nature walk, strips of ribbon, tissue paper, "yarn painting," or anything else you could think of that lays somewhat flat or can be pressed flat.
