Time Capsule Creations

Have kids decorate small boxes or jars to serve as time capsules. Encourage them to fill these with notes, drawings, or small items that represent the past year.

New Year’s Wish Jars

Provide jars, paper, and markers so kids can write or draw their wishes and resolutions for the upcoming year.

 

Sparkly Fireworks Art

Use black construction paper and glue to draw fireworks, then sprinkle with glitter or use metallic paints for a dazzling effect.
