Mr. Peabody and Sherman Inspired Time Capsule Movie Craft for Kids

Supplies needed:

• Pair of plastic drinking cups
• Paper
• Scissors
• Ribbon
• Marker
• Tape

We were able to find all of our supplies at our local dollar store. It is the perfect place for finding inexpensive supplies for crafts such as this.

Directions:
1. You want to begin by embellishing the cups with ribbon. To do this, we simply wrapped the ribbon around the cups and taped it in place. You can put as much ribbon as you desire.
2. Fill the cups with objects of your choice. Examples perfect for a time capsule craft like this would be a newspaper article with the date, pictures, current prices of food (like a grocery ad) or anything else you find relevant. Fit as much as you can in the cup. Be sure all items are dated so when the capsule is open you know when it was created.
3. Close the second cup over the first so that they seal each other closed. Wrap tape around the spot where the two cups meet. You want to be sure they are secure and staying together nice and tight.
4. Label your time capsule craft by writing the opening date on a piece of paper and taping it to the front of the time capsule. You can choose any date you wish.

You can now store your time capsule craft away for opening later. Since this particular time capsule craft is not waterproof, you will want to place it somewhere dry. A drawer or cabinet is perfect. Or, you can always put it in an airtight bag and bury it if you wish. The airtight plastic bag should be able to seal out most moisture.
