Real grown-ups probably have one of these in their house already. I am just getting started. I started working on my picture wall to help Julian learn his grandparents’ faces. Now I use it to show Scarlett who they are before they come.
I suggest assigning this task to family members, both to get it done faster and so that no one complains that they don’t like the picture you chose of them. Call all the grandparents and tell them to bring you a framed picture for this wall. (They should be highly motivated when you tell them it’s for baby to get to know them better. ) To build an outing around this, go out to a frame store and decide what kind you want. Or check out (pictured here) the Picture Wall Company product that will make this as easy as possible.
Once your wall of fame is in place, walk by with baby and point everyone out and say their names.
If you want to get high-tech, check out BabyMeetsFamily.com. It’s a video, sorta like Baby Einstein, that includes pictures of your family and you. You upload the pictures on the web site and then they mail you a custom DVD.
That Picture Wall Company is such a great idea! Thanks for the link. I’ve been trying to get the ‘where-with-all’ to line our hallway with pictures….for the last three years! Maybe I’ll get to it this winter?
Blogging Baby has a link to an easy photo wall — another fun option to try.

You don’t have to discard all your own frames in favour of a brand new solution. I have a fab affiliate program with http://www.scusi.co.za – not only do they supply instant picture walls, but they also have a professional team that does picture wall lay-outs with your own collection of frames. A great hassle-free way of creating a feature wall – I did it and absolutely love my walls!
CollageWall does it even better. You upload photos and design the layout right on the website. And their grid system makes it quick to add and rearrange pictures later. Truly unique.
