To print out our FREE colouring sheet, CLICK HERE   ,When you make a time capsule, you record information and select items that are important to you, then put them away in a container and only open it when you are much older. The joy of a time capsule is that when you do finally open it, you will be able to connect with your past in meaningful way! We have commissioned Gillian Hibbs, author/illustrator of ERROL'S GARDEN to create five fun-filled worksheets just for you and your time capsule! To print out your FREE worksheets, CLICK HERE.
 STEP 3: If you want to, you can decorate your container with stickers! Then put a note on the outside with your name and the year. You might also like to add a note about when you are allowed to open it. For example: DO NOT OPEN UNTIL 2030!
TIP: Make sure there is nothing with any moisture inside your box and store it somewhere dark. Over time, sunlight can bleach paper so make sure your capsule isn't stored in a sunny location. We would love to see your time capsules! Post them #GoldenToadKids DIFFICULTY LEVEL: MODERATE We had so much fun with our last pressed flower craft that we wanted to do another one! Check out this fun and amazing looking monogram! Use the first letter of your first name or make a family monogram, using the first letter of your last name. We picked the letter "W". If you need a reminder on how to press flowers, CLICK HERE.
