Craft Storage x Time Capsule for 2+ Kids

 

craft storage time capsule

4+ years of capturing my girls imaginations, creativity, free spirits + how they view the world, me, family, and a few other special memories using this craft storage system x time capsule. Except this school year, I'm officially dividing it into 2 bins, one for each girl! 

Both are personalized to help distinguish whose is who's + why color coded as well? (Because it's just fun) The girls names are actually a DIY (I made them) though you can order premade custom words off of Etsy! : )

+The best part? As a mom, I love how each stage is organized in showing my daughters growth for all areas of art, writing + gift giving as time goes on. 

Want to make one? 

Supplies + what I used over the years, below




White lettering is a DIY (vinyl)


Enjoy! 
+ I wish all of you a wonderful crafty year filled with lots of little art treasures to add for your craft storage x time capsule. Wink! wink!

Warmly, Steph

Craft Journal x Time Capsule


A gift from me (STEPH) to you!

Free download printable craft journal x time capsule filled with coloring + writing prompts littles can fill out here + there through out these early years of learning + making. I designed this with  Preschool - Elementary years in mind.

Making Tips: 
I reccomend printing off on card stock paper for flexibility on how your littles fill it out. You or they might want to glue tissue paper for the Brown Bear story section or use water colors.

Also, I use large paper clips to hold the pages together until the girls are all done with their crafting. Then at the end of the year (or whenever they complete it) you can hold punch + or glue everything together so it turns into a craft journal.

Little rebellious in creating my craft storage system for the girls : )

As it was crucial back in 2020 with a baby while taking on the roll of "At home Preschool Teacher Me/Mom" (like so many of you too!) that I created a system where my then 3.5 year old could reach, take away + put supplies back. 

So I took a few measurements, pulled together a few odd things + coupled it with a few Target bins then tada! Our kid size crafty storage masterpiece was born.

I personally enjoy giving "activities" or hands on little things the kids can do for party favors as my way of saying the to parents, "Thanks for letting me fill your kid up with sugar to help celebrate MY kid." 

So yes, Puppy bubble toppers + stickers is the least I can do.

What I used to make a Puppy + ME party hat pup, dog bubble topper + dog face sticker sheets?

Teacher Appreciation Gift x DIY Gift Card

2 of my favorite things as a past teacher (public + private) for receiving gifts was hand written notes + messages from my students (or art!) and gift cards : )

In both situations, especially "public" school educators we ended up paying for a good amount of things themselves. So I love gifting for my girls Teachers! (even if that's just a couple $7 coffee treats) 


Supplies for this one (including a writing prompt for littles!) below


Paper Gift Box:

Box

Acrylic paint for all details (gold, white + baby pink)


Pencil Gift Card Holder:

Card stock (pink, yellow, tan + black)

Glitter gold + silver card stock 


Making Note:



Remember you'll need scissors + a glue stick! I found stacking a book on top of the craft once glued helped it all stay flat and intact.


Can't wait to see how you make this one! Either now, or end of school year as a big "Thank you! "Happy Making! 


Warmly, Steph
