Time Capsule
Have you ever think of making time capsule for your child or children? I thought it was a beautiful idea, thanks to his kintergarten teacher. I have made one when my son was in Kintergarten back in 2001. His teacher had asked us, each parents to help their child to made time capsule as the children' projects. We were allowed to put anything we want in it as long till the box is full.
During that year it was right after the September 11th, I bought the flag photo box with gold stars red tissue paper and add the journal "Remember this Day" I wrote for my son about what was happening during his Kintergarten year, the Sept 11th and what he does each day till the day before the time caspule then I add binds with it-beautiful thick tiny book., I add some photos of Sept 11th with newspaper clippings, a letter from us, I add a small plastic bag that you can find in scrapebook stores filled with tiny white/yellow/gray stones that my son collected inside his shoes from the playground, some of his paperwork in school, handprints of his parents and his sister, my gold necklace that he loved to play with it everytime I hold him, photos, etc...even great-grandparents, grandparents left them something like letters, cards (you never know if they pass away when they open the time caspule)...and of course a flag. Then we take it to school, his teacher put surprise gift inside and sealed the time capsule. We were not allowed to open it till the day my son graduates from high school, that would be the year 2014.
It is still hidden in my closet since 2001. Last year my son was ten years old and asked me about it, he even asked if I still have it and if he could open it. He even remembers it. he was only five years old when we made one. I told him, I am sorry honey...you got to wait till 2014. He couldn't wait. His great-grandfather had passed away a year after the time capsule, he did left him a letter.
If you haven't made one for your child, it is best to make one...Your child would love that.
