To start this project you will need to have heads cut out white paper that the children can use to create their faces.
Have each child start out by looking in the mirror so they can draw their own face on the paper head.
Once the face is drawn and colored, then they can cut strips of colored paper for their hair.
Glue the strips of hair onto the head. (To get curls, wrap the strips around a marker tightly to get the paper to curl)
Once their heads are complete, give the children a strip of lined paper to write "This is me, (inset their name)." with a colored marker.
Glue the head on a large sheet of colored paper and then glue the paper with the sentence at the bottom of the paper.
Once their head is complete you can give them more heads to make the rest of their family. You can repeat the above steps for each head and change the sentence so it says who the head is. For example, "This is my dad." After all members of the family has been made then they can all be stacked together to make a book.
Have them use a sheet of colored paper to create a cover for the book and a piece of lined paper to write the title of the book "My family" that they will then glue on the cover. Once this is complete, staple the top left and bottom corners of the book.
Use a paper hole punch to punch holes spaced out so the children can "sew" the binding of the book between the staples. To sew the book, cut some yarn and wrap masking tape around one end to use as the "needle".
Now they have a home made "picture" album of their entire family!
