Time Capsule

I love making memories with my girls but I also worry about forgetting them. Today we made a little time capsule to go into Bubble's 'special box of stuff' (code for big box full of all the baby things, drawings and bits and pieces I can't bring myself to part with!). I didn't make one for Squeak because I want it to be something she can be involved in, so next year when she is a bit older we will make one then. I hope we can make this a biyearly thing and something special to open up on important birthdays in the future.

WE USED:

* empty tin with lid (we used an empty Nesquik can)
* sticky tape
* paper
* paint
* scissors
* markers/textas
* items of sentimental/memorable value to go inside.

Our time capsule included:

* a handprint on paper to cover the outside of our time capsule
* a recent photo of Bubble with her favourite toy
* the answers she gave during an 'interview' about her favourite things
* a drawing Bubble made of her family
* a small cutting of her hair
* a tracing sheet where Bubble had written her name
* a clay impression of her thumbprint
* one of the bottletop necklaces she made recently
* a spare wooden triangle from her favourite tangram puzzle
* wind up baby toy to symbolise her little sister
* a babushka doll charm that Bubble chose to put in herself :-)
