Daily Idea #278: Time Capsule

I think we may have exhausted our use of the tin cans (besides make them into planters or pencil holders) so for today’s daily idea we are using them for one final project. We are going to make a time capsule about the past year.

We all know this past year has been completely different than anything we have ever experienced. Lock downs in varying different forms depending on the state, masks, not being able to do many of the activities we were very much used to doing, yet, things are beginning to come around; we will all have our risk management lenses on to figure out what is best for us and our families. And while 2020 seems like a year we’d all rather forget, I’d like to preserve some of the memories to look at years down the road.

The kids will be tasked with finding or creating a few items to put into the time capsule.— a mask, a poem, a drawing… anything that will remind us of how we spent 2020 (especially since there were major milestones that seemed to just get passed by). Put it all in the tin can and then put the tin can away in a place that you can find later, years and years later.
