I've already shared our Year round-up questionnaire and our memory star and I really wanted to do something with those to say goodbye to 2014 and hello to 2015!
I decided to keep these in a 'time capsule'
We put our questionnaires and memory star in the bottle and added some 2014 coins and a Christmas stamp alongside the cost.
I'd like to add more items in the future, maybe the front page of a newspaper, a family photo, T's pictures and writing, cost of living eg price of milk, bread, petrol etc and T's handprint and footprint perhaps. If you have any other suggestions I'd love to hear them!
We popped our time capsule into one of our Christmas boxes and plan on taking it out next Christmas and reading the questionnaires and seeing how things changed this year.
I'm hoping that this will become a little New Year ritual for us as a family and that eventually we'll have a lovely big box of time capsules for us to take out and reminisce or laugh and talk about things contained within the bottles, seeing how the children's writing changes, how their aspirations develop and how general things like coins and stamps change year on year.
