Blogging From A to Z Challenge: T is for Time Capsule

Good sunny morning! As you know, I'm taking part in the Blogging from A to Z Challenge—my sixth year in a row! My theme is 26 Super Fun Learning Activities You Can Do From Home. That's right, I'm conjuring up 26 "educational" ideas to keep you busy while you're safe at home. But don't get too hung up on the word "educational"—so far, they've all been fun activities. Don't believe me? Check out the links to my past posts below.

I kicked off the challenge with Art for the letter A. Next up was B was for Baking. My sister and I did some chemistry for the letter "C," and I rounded off the first week with a family dance off. "E" was for exercise (which was way more fun than you think) and "F" was all about family. We got our hands dirty with some gardening,  celebrated Poetry Month and the letter "H" by writing haikus, and of course, "I" was for Invention. Week two ended with juggling.

We started week two of the challenge with knitting. On Tuesday we talked about learning a new language, and on Wednesday we did some fun math. Honest! For "N" I linked to some nature activities and on Friday, we talked about Origami. To cap off the week, I shared my grandma's famous "play dough" recipe—and some ways you can create with it.

But wait, there's more! This week started with quicksand, and yesterday, on Tuesday we talked about reading, and yesterday was all about science. How many of the five experiments I shared did you try? I'd love to see pictures!

My "T" activity is something that will forever mark this very unusual year....

T is for Time Capsule

Yup, that's right, we're going to make a Time Capsule. I know for many people, 2020 is shaping up to be a year we'd all like to forget...but some day down the road, we're going to want to remember it.

I won't lie—this isn't a quick activity, and you're going to want to take a few days to fill in the worksheets as a family, but there are about a dozen activities that include everything from writing prompts, to mini art activities.

The activities were created by a Calgary woman, and you can download the PDF worksheets here for free. It's even available in different languages!

I won't take up too much of your time today...you probably want to get started while it's still a bit chilly outside. Mom says Amelia and I can ride our bikes today, and I am itching to hit the sidewalks for a social distance run. Feels good to lace up my kicks again.

Gotta jet! But I'll see "U" tomorrow, right? <heh>
