How to Make a Book of Family Faces for Your Baby

Year ago when we had our first baby, we were living in Kalgoorlie, a casual eight hour drive away from both sides of our family, not to mention the family who lived on the other side of the country. So I had the idea to make my little girl a 'Facebook' so she could get familiar with loved ones names and faces.

Looking at photos of people in their family helps babies to develop a sense of identity, familiarity, and connection with people they care about. Memory Keeping Mama shared that she made a similar book for her little girl's language development. As we talk with our children about the people in the photos, their names, and their relationship. I love that something so simple can be a helpful way for babies to bond with their family and begin to understand their place in their family unit.

How to Make Your Own Family Faces Book

1. Grab a $2 soft cover photo album from Kmart
2. Choose photos of your friends and family (be sure to include a photo of your child too!)
3. Order free prints from the Snapfish App. You get 50 prints free each month, just pay for postage.
4. Slip the photos into the photo album
5. Your little one can enjoy seeing photos of people they love (without screentime!)

Happy scrapping!
