Teaching young children about being thankful can be tricky! Thankfulness is an abstract concept and kids thrive with concrete ideas. Doing something hands-on with your family is a great way to learn about and model the idea of thankfulness.
Materials
How to Prepare the Time Capsule

Roll the notes up and pop them in the jar.
