Scrap Book
Make a scrap book about you and your parent, or your whole family.
You could include photos, their favourite crisp packet, train tickets, old birthday cards - anything that reminds you of them. You can write why the items stuck in are meaningful, or little stories connected with each item. You can get your parent to write in it too. Or you could just fill it up with special photos of you and your parent together.
Start by getting a big pad of paper and writing down anything like ‘my favourite film’, ‘my favourite book’. All the family members get to write things and slowly the book begins to fill up with stuff all about your family. It captures the family in that moment of time.
You can leave the pad in a place where anyone can add things, at any time.
