Quarantine Time Capsule Ideas

It’s always interesting to look back at our life by using time capsules. You can capture a moment and remember how you felt and what happened during significant life moments. Today we at Kinder Buddies give some ideas for commemorating your families time inside during the lock down.

Time Capsule Mediums

A typical time capsule would be a container (cookie tin/plastic box) that closes and can hold random papers and souvenires. While this is a fun way to capture memories there are some other ways you can track this time as well:

• create a scrap book
• create a journal
• A box to buried and be opened at another date
• A nice box to be stored in the home to be opened at a later date
• A digital scrap book: You can use something as simple as a Word Document or use an online service.
  We love this walk-thru on starting a digital scrapbook.
