I really love the idea of doing a time capsule for my future children. Obviously I will start the time capsule when they are born, and I think giving to them to open up on their 21 birthday would give plenty of time to fill it up with neat stuff.Be sure to label everything.

  • A picture of them at every birthday holding a sign saying how old they are, what they want to be when they grow up, and their main role model.
  • A newspaper from the day they were born.
  • An issue of People from the month they were born.
  • An issue of a fashion magazine from the month they were born.
  • A pacifier
  • What they wore home from the hospital
  • A pair of mittens and booties
  • Their bracelet from the hospital
  • My bracelet from the hospital
  • Something her mother/father wore at the hospital
  • A car catalog
  • A calender from the year they were born. Keeping track of how they are doing each week. Also record things like due date and day born.
  • A grocery bill
  • A gas bill
  • One of their birth announcement cards
  • One of their baby shower invitations
  • Cards from other people
  • Toddler drawings and other projects
  • A hand mold.
  • Hand prints at ages 1,3,5,8,10,and 16
  • A letter from me to them
