Create a time capsule.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A special way to celebrate a birthday or the beginning of your little one's school year is with a time capsule. It's the perfect opportunity to capture memories that you'll cherish forever. Not only is a time capsule great to remember the past, it's a fun project for kids! Help them store their memories for years to come by following our guide below.

What is a Time Capsule?

A time capsule is a container that holds present day items, such as photos, newspapers (if you still receive those), letters and more. It's typically hidden away for your future self or someone of your choosing to open. This is perfect as a gift to yourself or a gift for your child for future years. Have another family member hide the box, so you aren't tempted to open it! Want to hide it for a year? Five? Ten? There's no time limit! The rules are all up to you. Shoeboxes are great for indoor safekeeping, while weather-resistant boxes are best for the outdoors.

How to Make Your Time Capsule

1. Choose Your Container

In order to make your time capsule, first you'll have to choose a container in which to store it. Choosing your container depends on how long you are planning on keeping it hidden. This is a great opportunity for your little ones to get involved. Have them pick out the box or help them decorate the box before it's filled.

2. Determine Where You'll Store It

For indoor storage, a shoe box, wooden box, large plastic storage container or even a mason jar will work. If you want to DIY something from the kitchen, consider using a cookie tin or egg carton for your time capsule. You might want to gather all of your time capsule items together first to determine the amount of storage space you'll need. You can hide your box in a storage closet behind other items. An attic, basement or garage are also great locations. You want to hide your time capsule somewhere where others will not find it!

For outdoor safekeeping, consider a weatherproof, non-biodegradable container such as an old metal coffee can, popcorn can or a box made of stainless steel. Make sure this is secured before hiding or storing your box outside. Bury your time capsule in a garden under dirt where little to no rain hits, or in an outdoor garage. You could also ask a friend or family member to hold on to the container, just don't tell your little one who has it!

3. Decorate Your Time Capsule

Next, decorate your container. We have included a few sizes of labels you can use for your time capsule, with a fill-in-the-blank section for your child's name and date of opening. Print, cut out and glue on the top or center of the container.

Time Capsule Ideas

A meaningful time capsule should be both personalized and fun! If the time capsule is to celebrate a birthday, include items from your child's birthday like photos and cards. You could also include a notebook with thoughts over the year, or information about your child's height and weight to compare later. If your child is older, you can place graduation diplomas or certificates from sporting events in the capsule. The options are endless!

Here are a few more ideas on items you can include in your time capsule, along with printable prompts to include as well. These can be written from you or a loved one that you can stick in the time capsule, or have your child write a note to themselves to reflect on later.

DIY Time Capsule Ideas:

Their favorite fashion trends from a magazine

A newspaper published on their birthday

Certificates/ribbons from sports games

School papers/art projects

Photos from the past year/years

Party items such as confetti

A book with a special note

Now that you've gotten your box full of memorabilia, it's time to add personalized messages. We have included a few printables you can place in the time capsule to share your love with your child. A Note to Me, from Me can be a future note to your child that they write themselves. My Favorites and Goals for the Year will also be written by your little ones. If your child is too small to write them on their own, write down their answers for them. A Message for a Wiser, Older You can be from their parents, grandparents or another important adult in their life.

A Note to Me, from Me

Encourage your little one to write a note to their future selves. Ask them to offer a piece of wisdom to their future self, and suggest that they write something they expect for the future.

A Message for a Wiser, Older You

This can be a note to the child from you. You can write things you love about them, the hopes you have for them and the values you hope they possess. This is ideal for an older child in their pre-teen/teen years.

My Favorites

Have your child write down their favorites of the year, like favorite color and book. This is a fun way to compare what was trending and what they liked in previous years. When you unearth the time capsule, ask them if anything stayed the same!

Goals for the Year

This printable is perfect if you are creating the time capsule for New Year's! Have them write down their goals for the year ahead, and then the next five and 10 years. Depending on when they open their time capsule, they can see how much they've accomplished. Plus it's a great motivator to get things done.

One year or many years from now, your child will open their time capsule and glimpse a frozen moment of good times with loved ones. This personally-designed time capsule preserves a moment in time, with special memories, dreams and aspirations for your child's future. This special project is inexpensive, takes little effort and is a gift that can be treasured for years to come! Want to make your time capsule extra special? Check out our personalized keepsake for indoor safekeeping.

What is a Simple Machine?

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
When you think of a machine, what comes to mind? Some people might think about machines, such as internal combustion engines or computers. However, some of the most important and useful machines are quite simple. In fact, scientists even call them simple machines!

So what is a simple machine? Is it a machine that does a simple , such as addition or subtraction ? Maybe it's just a machine that's really easy to operate, like an old television remote control? Or could it be any machine that makes life easier?

While simple machines do make our lives easier, they're much older than either television remotes or calculators. Simple machines are some of the first machines ever created.

Scientists define as force acting on an object in the direction of motion. Machines make easier by doing one or more of the following: transferring a force from one place to another, changing the direction of a force, increasing the of a force, or increasing the distance or of a force.

Since the earliest human beings walked on Earth, they looked for ways to make the of everyday life easier to accomplish. Over time, they did this by inventing what has become known as the six simple machines.

The wheel and axle was definitely one of the most important inventions in human history. By reducing friction, the wheel enabled humans to move goods long distances more easily. Without the wheel and axle, agriculture and commerce would never have been possible.

A lever is made up of a long beam and a point, known as a . Levers allow you to lift more weight than you could on your own. For example, a 100-pound rock might be too much for you to lift by yourself. If you stick the edge of a long beam under the edge of the rock with another rock a few feet away to act as the , you can apply downward pressure on the beam to move the rock. Common examples of levers include door handles, light switches, bottle openers, and hinges.

An inclined plane is a flat surface that has been raised to create an . If you've ever used a to move something heavy, you know that dragging a heavy item up a is much easier than lifting it straight off the ground.

A is a version of a wheel and axle combined with a chain or a that changes the direction of the force needed to do . When you pull down on a attached to a , the object attached to the other end of the moves up. Pulleys can be combined with other pulleys to reduce the amount of needed to lift very heavy objects. Common examples of pulleys include flag poles, window blinds, elevators, and cranes.

Wedges are moving inclined planes used to lift or separate. Wedges are usually used to cut, tear, or break an object into pieces. Common wedges include knives, axes, saws, scissors, and shovels. However, wedges can also be used to hold things in place, such as in the case of staples, nails, shims, or doorstops.

A is a twisted version of an inclined plane. It allows movement to be translated into an up or down motion that takes up less horizontal space. Screws can also help hold things together. Common examples of screws include jar lids, drills, light bulbs, and bottle caps.

These six simple machines are all around us. Often more machines, also called machines, consist of one or more of the simple machines put together. Can you imagine how much easier life became after the invention of these simple machines?

Have you ever heard someone say that a picture is worth a thousand words? It may seem like a at first, but if you give it some thought, it makes a lot of .

Have you ever looked back at an old picture of yourself with some friends and family members? The memories and emotions an old picture can up help to explain the old . It might even take you more than a thousand words to the feelings you get from such a picture.

In fact, a picture or any simple can help to feelings and emotions that you might not be able to adequately with words alone. If you've ever communicated with someone via email, text message, or some other form of electronic messaging, then you know that words alone don't always allow you to communicate effectively .

Fortunately , our computers and smartphones today are packed with all sorts of simple images that we can insert into messages to help communicate more effectively . We call them emojis, and kids today might have a hard time imagining a time when people had to communicate without the of emojis.

It's true, though. As recently as the late 1990s, we had to mostly on words to communicate with others. Can you imagine? Fortunately , all that changed in 1998 when a Japanese man named Shigetaka Kurita invented emojis.

Kurita worked for NTT DoCoMo, a big Japanese mobile communications company. He was part of a team tasked with developing the company's first mobile Internet system. Their system limited users to 250 characters in messages, so Kurita thought emojis would allow users to communicate more effectively while using less data.

The first set of emojis contained 176 very simple, 12- by 12- images that expressed a variety of emotions and ideas, including emojis for things like the weather, foods, drinks, feelings, and moods. Kurita took inspiration from Japanese comics (manga) and the logographic Chinese characters used in the modern Japanese writing system (kanji).

The word emoji literally means "picture" (e) "character" (moji). Emojis are different than emoticons. Emoticons have a similar , but they're composed using regular characters. For example, you can create a smiley face using a colon, a dash, and a parenthesis: :-). Emojis, on the other hand, are actual pictures or icons.

Kurita's emojis were a huge hit in Japan, and they soon were adopted by other Japanese technology companies. It took a while for them to spread to other technology platforms in other countries, however.

The popularity of emojis in the United States is attributed largely to their inclusion by Apple in its iOS operating system in the late 2000s. The emoji floodgates truly opened in 2010 when emojis were standardized by Unicode, which is the universal standard for character-based electronic communication. Standardization meant that technology companies, such as Microsoft, Google, Twitter, and Facebook, could develop their own emojis that could be recognized regardless of operating system.

Engaging yoga video produced especially for children.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Motivating kids to be active can be a struggle. While yoga is a hugely beneficial exercise for children of all ages, they aren't interested in traditional asanas or highly structured yoga classes. Luckily, there are tons of engaging yoga videos out there produced especially for children. If your kid is addicted to screens, yoga DVDs and videos are an entertaining way to inspire your couch potatoes to get up and get moving. Here are some of our favorite free kids yoga videos on Youtube.

(While there are a lot of shorter yoga videos for kids around 3-5 minutes, this list focuses on longer "classes" for kids around 20-30 minutes.)

5 Fun Kids Yoga Videos on Youtube

1. Cosmic Kids Yoga

Cosmic Kids makes a huge wealth of yoga content specifically for kids (and makes some of our favorite yoga DVDs as well). Their Youtube Channel features hundreds of yoga videos in a variety of styles. They have beginner videos that focus on teaching how to do specific poses as well as full "classes" structured around stories and adventures (like the Kickapoo the Kangaroo class above). Because each class is more like watching an interactive story, these yoga videos are perfect for kids who eschew exercise. They even have videos based around kids favorite characters like Moana and Spiderman. No matter your children's interests, you'll find some yoga videos they'll love in the Cosmic Kids library.

Some Cosmic Kids videos are also available on Amazon Prime.

2. Yoga For Kids with Alissa Kepas

Alo Yoga usually makes yoga and meditation content for adults, but they brought in instructor Alissa Kepas to make this special yoga video just for kids. If you find the bright colors and cartoonish-ness of Cosmic kids yoga annoying, this video the perfect option. Alissa tailors her routine for kids, making each pose engaging with interactive elements like making animal noises while still teaching the children the proper names and body positions for each pose. She's full of positivity that brings a lot of fun and energy to her asanas. This routine is great for older kids who want to get more serious about yoga.

Recommended Age Range: Up to 8 years old

Class Length: 15 minutes.

3. Story Hive Yoga for Kids

Instructor Sophia Khan and two kid-sized helpers lead children through an energizing full-length yoga class. Like most kids yoga videos, Sophia gives thorough and playful instructions to keep kids engaged and help them understand the concepts. But this video is structured more like a traditional yoga class, with breathing exercises, setting an intention, warming up, and cooling down. Bold illustrations add extra fun for children without becoming too cartoonish. This video is a little more playful than the Alissa Kepas one.

This class is good for older kids who have the patience and attention span for a full 30-minute yoga class.

Class Length: 25 minutes

Make sure your kids have the right gear to practice yoga safely.

This children's yoga mat from Gaiam is perfectly sized for young yogis.

The sticky surface helps them hold poses and cushions against hard floors in your home.

4. Play in the Park Yoga for Kids

Yoga with Adriene is one of our favorite Yoga channels, so of course, her routine for kids is one of the best! This video doesn't have any fancy animations or stories to keep kids engaged, but Adriene's playful and positive personality translates well to instruction for children. She explains each pose in kid-friendly language but avoids talking down to them. This full-length class is perfect for kids of anyway, but will really be appreciated by old kids and pre-teens who feel too old for other kids yoga videos.

Class Length: 30 Minutes

5. Yoga for Beginner Kids

If you have a preschool age kid but want a yoga video for them that isn't based on cartoons and stories, this video for beginners is perfect. The instructor guides a class of four children through a child-focused routine that's easy to follow at home. Each pose is modified with instructors for children that keep them engaged and add some extra fun. Full of big energy, this will help get your kids moving without grating you with annoying music and characters.

Recommended Age Range: 3 to 5 years old

Class Length: 20 minutes

Secret messages in a song?

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Today's Wonder of the Day was inspired by Autumn. Autumn Wonders, " How would somebody use the Underground Railroad? " Thanks for WONDERing with us, Autumn!

How well do you know your favorite song? Many might say they know every word! After all, the are sung in the open for anyone to hear. Can you hide a secret message in a song? It might seem like it would be impossible .

But it is possible! Throughout history, people have found ways to hide messages in songs. One example is African American spirituals. They sometimes held secret messages for people on the Underground Railroad.

Harriet Tubman was one of the leaders of the Underground Railroad. She and others involved used many terms from the railroad industry to form their own. It was like a secret language they used to help people slavery. They could spread messages by singing songs with their words. This was more and safer than writing.

What secret messages were sent in songs on the Underground Railroad? Some gave people directions-these were called signal songs. Others, called map songs, told people where to meet. Together, they helped many people make their way northward.

Many of these songs included references to people, places, and stories from the Bible. For example, many of them talked about the land of Canaan. In the Bible, Canaan was the promised land for the people of Israel. For those running from slavery, Canaan meant Canada, a land of freedom.

Another example is the song "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot." The spoke of, "a band of angels coming after me, coming for to carry me home." This song gave many people hope. The words meant that people were coming soon to help them .

Other common words were baggage (people escaping slavery) and drinking gourd (the Big Dipper and the North Star). Some messages also talked about the freedom train (the Underground Railroad) or Moses (Harriet Tubman). People sang about crossing the River Jordan (Ohio River) and finding a station (safe house).

Escaping from slavery was very . Secret messages in songs gave people a safer way to spread the word. What other ways can you think of to communicate secrets? Can you come up with a secret of your own?
