James can play with his family...even if some live far far away

I cut out pictures of my family and Caleb's family, laminated them, stuck some magnets on the back, and tossed them on the fridge. I thought this was a good idea since we are in MN and he has grandparents/family in northern WI, Arizona, and Belize. Now he can see them every day and play with them. A fun and easy way to learn names and faces.

Love the idea... I print out some of the pictures forever ago, but never got to print them all and simply stopped doing it... Laminate them is a great idea!!!!!!

I love the magnet idea, I did this with placemats for the boys. They love trading mats each night cause there are different pictures on each of them. Now I might have to do magnets too!

What a great idea! We have a small photo book for the Boy wonder that has pics of all the out of town family, but I think it'd be funny watching him play with my brother's disembodied head on the fridge :)
