Make a Time Capsule!
This is an idea which makes a super family project - and tradition! Get
the kids to make a "time capsule" for the year ahead, and fill it,
together, as the year goes on - with photos, ticket stubs, copies of
certificates won, birthday cards, writing samples, and anything else
with meaning to your family. At the end of the year store it away safely
and make a new time capsule for the year ahead. You will have a
memory-filled container for each year which you will all treasure in the
future.
You will need:
A used large snack tub
Paint
PVA (white) glue
Decorations (sequins, ribbons, lace etc)
Instructions:
Rinse out your snack tub. When the tub is dry, paint it. Tip: Mix a small
amount of glue into the paint to help preserve it.
When the paint is dry, paint the tub with a layer of PVA glue. Stick on your
decorations. We used shiny numbers to add the date and sequin stars to
embellish.
Now you can either fill your tub with precious mementos from now (photos etc)
or you can keep it open and add to it through out the year (tickets,
certificates etc) before putting it away safely to be opened in the future.
