Summer is coming to an end whether you are sending your kids off to school or keeping them home for school. More than likely, their friends are going to want to know all about their summer, so why not reflect on all the summer fun by creating an end of summer time capsule. Not only will it jog your child’s memory before school starts but when next summer rolls around you can open the time capsule and remember all the good times you had (and maybe set goals for having even more fun)!
To create their time capsules, the girls used paint, stickers, and markers to decorate recycled oatmeal containers (any type of container will do).
Several different items went into the time capsules, including tracings of their hands that have their heights and weights on them.
Also inside the time capsules we placed:
Making your own time capsule is easy, all you need is a container to place your items in and lots of summer memories! Along with the fun things we placed in our time capsules you can also include these items:
When you are done adding all of your summer memories to the time capsule, seal it up and hide it away to be opened in 2014 or even several years later, then have a time capsule opening party!
What would you include in your time capsule?
