Why a Time Capsule?
A time capsule is a fantastic way to capture a moment in time, and what better moment than the dawn of a new year?
It’s a chance for kids to record who they are right now – their likes, dislikes, dreams, and more.
Not only does it serve as a snapshot of their current selves, but it also becomes a precious memento to look back on in future years.
