Family Tree

What you'll need: cookie tray, glue, scrapbook paper, construction paper, scissors, family photos, leaves, white paper, crayons, marker

Make it: Start by gluing some fun scrapbook paper to the bottom of a cookie tray. Then, make your tree out of construction paper -- cutting out and gluing on a trunk, a tree top, and a little sign with your family's name. Once your tree's in place, glue down some family photos with a square of construction paper to serve as mini frames. Make a leaf rubbing for each member of the family by placing a leaf (vein side up) between two pieces of plain white paper and rubbing a crayon over the top sheet. Cut out your leaf rubbings, mark each with your family member's name and birthday, and glue according to your photos.
