Family Time Capsule Activity - with free printable

Putting together a time capsule is the perfect activity for a rainy afternoon with the family, especially now when a lot of us are trying to spend more time at home! A time capsule is a container that you fill with present day items, such as artwork or photos, and hide to open on a later date. Ideally, pretty far into the future!

Before you seal up your time capsule, also have your kids write a fun note to their future selves! If you use our template below, your kids will be able to discuss your family and their current age, academic interests, friends, and aspirations.

You can also have them set a date for when they plan to open the time capsule. It’s totally up to your family how long you want to wait. Sometimes the longer you wait, the more entertaining the reveal!
