The ancestry topic is hot no matter what age you are. At some point in your child’s education they will start to learn about ancestry and heritage. This Traditional Family Tree Printable for kids can help them sort some of their heritage out.
When you have little people it can be a lot of fun to help them discover their world. Part of that discovery process also involves figuring out who belongs where. Which uncle is married to which aunt? Who is that, as far as it relates to Daddy? My one daughter, even at 10, will still ask sometimes: is Uncle Ken Daddy’s brother or who is he married to? It takes practice and reminders and a lot of repetition to get the relationships all figured out.
For your child, it’s all part of figuring out where they fit in your family.
This Family Day, one of my talented helpers here built this Family Tree to share with my Thrifty Momma’s Tips readers. I like that this can be used any time of year at home just to help your little person figure out who goes where.
The traditional Family Tree Printable is free to download, but please do not copy it. I give you permission to access it one of two ways. You can right click on the image and save to your computer and then print. But I always do this instead: click on the link above and print it out from a PDF. It’s much clearer and a nicer image too.
Of course, there are days when these types of activities can bring up interesting questions. Why doesn’t Uncle Joe have a wife? Whose tummy did you come out of? And so on. Stay tuned because tomorrow I have the Family Tree for Adoptive Families!! I am super excited about that one. We could have used it many times over as my kids were growing up.
Thanks for reading and have fun doing this together. Happy Family Day!
Oh such a cute printable!! Thanks for sharing!
This is so cute. Also a great way to teach children about lineage.
That is wicked cute. My 2nd grader would love this because he’s working on this in school.
This looks so great for kids. It would be helpful for my son to show the various relationships between him and his grandparents, aunt, uncle, etc.
I love this family tree! We did plenty of family tree activities when my kids were little, especially since so many relatives are into genealogy.
This is a great way of explaining the family to the little ones. Those graphics are so cute!
Thanks for this great printable. I think it’s so important that kids understand and appreciate their heritage and their family tree.
I think this is the best way to teach kids about the family. The artwork is really cute and easy for kids. Happy family day 🙂

This is really cute and very different. I am sure kids would love doing this and I like the idea of something like this for kids to focus their attention on instead of video games.
Nice idea to get kids interested in ancestry. I love it!
