Ages: 3 + You can make this as simple or as complex as you wish, according to your child’s age and interest.
Purpose: We are currently making history. This activity provides opportunity for children to be seen and heard, to acknowledge the highs, lows and changes, to reflect on what they’ve overcome and acknowledge their own resilience.
This activity could involve writing a list, or collecting thoughts, reflections and physical things. Once the list or collection is complete you can seal it away in your container to open at a later date, or sit down together to reflect and talk about what you’ve collected/recorded.

Talking Together
Questions: When reflecting on your diary/capsule talk together about feelings and emotions and how these are normal: “Today I felt this when…” .It’s also a great opportunity to talk about what you miss - what’s important to you, and what you’re enjoying right now. And to reflect on why we’re staying home to keep safe, and what we plan to do when restrictions end!
