Creating a time capsule is a perfect way to spend an afternoon with your family. A time capsule is a container that you fill with present day items, such as a favorite piece of jewelry or trophy, and hide or bury to open at a later time. Kids will love collecting meaningful items to include and thinking about what the future potentially holds and how it will differ from their current reality.
Below you’ll find a fun printable activity to help your kids put together their time capsule. It includes a checklist to help spark ideas for items you can include as well as a template for a letter kids can write to their future selves. Download the full printable at the end of this post!
