Time Capsule

What You Need:

  • Coffee can, tennis ball can, or a large jar
  • Paint, markers, felt, paper
  • Glue
  • Duct tape
  • Stuff to put in the capsule

Instructions:

  1. Decorate the outside of an empty can or jar with paint, markers, felt, and paper.
  2. Write your name and today’s date on the capsule’s lid.
  3. Try to find items that you can live without, but things that will be interesting to future generations. Fill your capsule with these items. Some ideas:
  4. A personal “letter to the future”
  5. Current magazine or newspaper clippings
  6. Photographs of you and your family
  7. Your predictions of life in the future
  8. Securely tape the lid on the capsule.
  9. Write instructions on the outside of the capsule, explaining when the capsule should be opened.
  10. Now, all you have to do is find a good place to hide your capsule. You can bury it in the woods or hide it in your attic!
