A time capsule is a container that you put present-day items, such as newspaper clippings, photos, small toys, or artwork, in and then bury or hide to open at a later date.
If you’re anything like us, you’re probably down to your LAST pack of construction paper, and you’re letting the kids do pretty much whatever the hell they want to entertain themselves.
That’s cool–no judgement here. But if you feel like you need to redeem yourself with an activity that kids age 3 and up will enjoy, making a time capsule together just might do the trick.
Help your kids gather their favorite memories and tokens, but make sure to help them choose items that they won’t miss too much as the time capsule will be hidden away for some time.
Let the kids do the work if they are old enough. This adds an extra layer of investment in the family time capsule, and frankly, it keeps you from having to get dirty.
