Like Draw it on paper?  Or create objects?I like the puppetmaster Idea...each puppet can be a person being held up by strings moved by the puppet master...your son.Or Spanish Related you could do Pinatas with names on them.

If you have a Cricut what about using the PaperDoll cartridge, if you have one,  and cut out each family member?Carolyn

What if he did it in the shape of a star with himself in the center?

How about " The heart of our family " using hearts with the information written on them?

I think circles would be cute too- radiating circles with himself in the middle, each generation radiating outward?

I saw a fan shaped one on the net once and it was really cool.   Here are a couple I found just now:

Could you design and color it like a dancing fan?

I think the pyramid idea is neat and the stars too.I had an idea. Based on Days of our Lives. Where they say "Like sand through an hourglass so are The Days of our Lives".You could make an hourglass and have your ds  at the top and then falling through the bottom of the hourglass odd circle shapes cut with deco scissors and saying "Like sand through an hourglass so are the many family members in our Lives".
