When I teach number bonds and whole and part concepts I relate it to mixing colors. In this activity, the two parts are yellow and blue which mix to make the whole, green. The fact family boxes correspond to the number bond colors so that students can see how the parts go together to make the whole, and how when one part is taken from the whole the other part is left.
