Directions

  1. Collect photos of the people you want to include in your family tree.
  2. Before you draw your tree on poster board, sketch it on scrap paper.
  3. Show your child and her siblings at the bottom of the tree and work your way up the branches to show her extended family.
  4. Using your sketch as a guide, pencil your family tree on poster board, then draw over your pencil lines with markers.
