How to make a Vacation Memory Jar

Use a mason jar or find some jars from your kitchen, wash and dry them, removing the labels and glue residue.

• Have your children scour the sand for shell, sea glass or drift wood from the ocean washed ashore to create your vacation memory jar.
• Print out a picture from your visit like running in the ocean, building sand castles, being buried in the sand, etc., the size to fit through the jar lid.
• I attached my picture to a short wooden stick with craft glue.
• I cut a piece of cardstock in the shape of waves and covered it with blue water-like paper.

• Add dry sand to the bottom of the jar.
• Fit your picture, waves, starfish, shells and sea glass into the sand so it looks like your picture it is part of your little beach scene.

• Decorate the lid with natural colored raffia and shells.
• Print out the location and date of your visit and attach it to your precious time capsule.
