Everybody's present and accounted for. And stationed at their own window! There is no other frame like this one because there is no other family like yours. And don't forget your pets!

What You’ll Need

large cardboard
pencil
scissors or craft knife
photos of family members (don't forget your pets)
tape
materials for decorating, such as construction paper, felt sheets, markers, paints and paintbrushes, glitter glue, stickers, etc.
paper punch
ribbon or yarn

Instructions

1. On the large cardboard, draw a house shape. You can draw it to look like your own house if you have an artist in the family. Draw as many windows as there are people and pets in the family. You may want to draw a dog house on the side with the door cut out for your dog picture. Or a tree for your cat. Be creative. Cut out the house shape and the windows.

2. Decorate the house using construction paper, felt sheets, markers, paints, etc. Add details such as siding, roof tiles, shutters and plants. How about adding your names on the house; perhaps on the shutters or window boxes. Let dry.

3. Cut the photos so they fit behind the windows. Tape the photo behind the house, facing outwards, so the people are looking out the windows.

4. Punch out holes on top of the house to tie a length of ribbon or yarn threw to make a hanger.
