Time Capsules


Hi everyone! The theme of this post is connecting across generations, so we're going to be making time capsules! 


A time capsule is a container storing a selection of objects that commemorate the current time, to be put away and discovered in the future.

Finger Painting with Jordan

Hi everyone. It’s Jordan this time for Family Saturdays at Home I’m showing you how to finger paint!         You will need:  - A small amount of paint - Paper  - Pens - You'll need to plan for messy fingers too!

You can decorate it using anything you have around the house. You will need: - Paper - Scissors - Pens to decorate First, grab a sheet of paper. Bigger is best as you will end up with a bigger book. Though any sized paper will work for you. You can even try using envelopes or cut down cereal boxes if you don’t have spare paper. Fold your paper into 8 sections. Next, you need to cut the centre fold line. Make sure you cut it on the folded edge. Cut only half the line so you reach the centre of the paper. Stand your paper to make this shape, the middle will want to naturally fold in onto itself. Push everything to the centre. Fold the pages down to make a conventional...
