Make a
New Year's Time Capsule

Make a container to hold your treasures and your wishes and goals for the New Year.

You will need:
•	small storage tin (You may have a cookie-, popcorn- or candy-tin leftover from the holidays. If you don't have a tin, a shoebox will work.)
•	 goals for the coming year
•	 permanent markers 
•	paper
•	glue
•	tape
•	scissors
•	paint
•	paintbrush
•	little treasures (photos of friends or family, small toys, coins, etc.)

How to make it:
•	Wash and dry the tin.
•	Decorate the tin with the markers or paint (If the tin already has a design, you can use that one. Or you can decorate pieces of paper and then glue them to the tin's lid and sides.) 
•	Mark your name and the date on the lid. 
•	On a piece of paper make a list of goals - things you would like to accomplish during the year. (For example, be a better student, be more helpful around the house, make new friends, etc.)
•	On another piece of paper write some of the important things that happened last year. (For example, got a new puppy, went on a fun vacation, learned to ride a bike, etc.)
•	Place the list of goals in the tin along with any little treasures you want to include.
•	Tape the lid onto the tin. 
•	Store it in a safe place (for example, your closet, under the bed, etc.).
•	Open the tin on the next New Year's Day. Did you accomplish all your goals? Did you remember what was in the tin?
