Memory Tin/ Time Capsule

I saw a fantastic post on Facebook (unsure of the creator). The post very rightly stated that our children are currently living through history, so why not create a time capsule with newspaper cuttings/ online article print outs and diary inserts etc about what it is like living in lockdown during the Coronavirus, so they can read it again to their future selves in years to come.

The making of the memory box/ time capsule can also be a good homeschool craft idea.

As you can see, your child can decorate their box anyway they like. My daughter used post it notes and tape to create a patchwork effect of different colours.

What we included:

  • Photos of us as we are now, schoolwork etc
  • Articles
  • Letter to herself
  • One of the crafts she has made to give to friends and family when this is all over.
