My friend gave me this idea when my boy was little and didn't get to see all of the family very often. We made a "Loves" book for him to remember all the people that love him. Since I recently had a daughter I have made her one too. 
- a 4x6 photo book,
- cardstock paper,
- this template,
- and photos of the different family members preferably with the child. I used his parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and then I also added Jesus.
I printed the words
"Who loves (the child's name)?
(The family member's name) loves (the child's name)!"
I spaced the words using the ruler on a regular sized paper in a Word document (or you can download my template). I got 2 pages per paper. Print the page, cut it to 4x6, and stick it in the book. Pretty simple.
I love that he can see their pictures, know that he has at some point been with them, read their names, and read his name. Now that he is older, he remembers them more, so we update the pictures so he can remember things he's done with them (especially the cousins). Plus he gets to read how much he is loved...who wouldn't love that?
