As a mom, you probably have thoughts and feelings about your child that you want to share with them, but might not have the time or opportunity to do so in person.

A time capsule letter is a great way to record your thoughts and send them to your child at a later date. Learn what to write in a time capsule letter to your child!

No matter what parents include in a time capsule letter to their child, the most important thing is that it comes from the heart.

Writing a letter like this is a wonderful way to show your child how much you love and care for them, even long after you’re gone.

But you’ll also need to include some essential supplies!

In order to make sure your time capsule letter is as complete as possible, you’ll need:

A pen or pencil, paper or cardstock, scissors, glue or tape, photos, preferably in color, other small trinkets or mementos that represent your child’s life, and an envelope to place your letter in.

There are so many ideas that parents could write in a time capsule letter to their child – here are just a few ideas:

  • imparting life wisdom
  • giving encouragement for the future
  • sharing memories of the time spent with child (or any other time spent together)
  • including photos or other mementos that will be special to the child later in life
  • expressing hope that the child will forgive them for any mistakes they made as parents
  • including a list of things the child should do or experience in their life
  • sending blessings and well wishes for the child’s future

You can choose to place your time capsule letter and mementos in a special box if you’d like. Here’s one that I found on Etsy that I love:
