Hello!
The 15th of May is the International Day of Families.
Here are a few ideas for you to try at home in order to celebrate your family, especially when we can’t be with those that are dear to us.
- Create a family tree and discuss it with your family.
- Can you count how many children are in your family?
- Can you count how many adults there are?
- How many people are in the family tree altogether?
2. Plan a family picnic/party to take place in your garden. 
- Make a list of foods you will have.
- Count out plates, cups and spoons.
- Write invitations to give to everyone.
- Dress up as a character or wear some fancy clothes.
- Play some music and get everyone dancing
3. Call up a grandparent, cousin or aunt/uncle and have a good little catch up. Tell them what you have been doing. Ask them what they have been doing. Make a plan for something you would like to do together when you next meet.
4. Draw a picture of your family. You can even use the fun Tate Paint tool online to do this
5. Read or listen to the story ‘Guess how much I love you’

6. Do you love someone right up to the moon and back? Tell them by making them a craft. Why don’t you post something nice to a grandparent or cousin?
7. Why don’t you make a moon and stars themed sensory bottle?

Why not look positively to the future and start to collect ideas for things you would like to do as normality returns? Here’s what one family have done:
