About this workbook

A New Year’s Eve time capsule for kids aged 4 to 10. Before the clock strikes midnight, children draw their year: a self-portrait right now, their favourite memory of 2026, the best and worst foods they ate, and the books, songs and friends they love most.

It starts with fun facts and stories about New Year’s around the world, then ends with simple steps to seal the pages away and open them next New Year’s Eve, or in 10 years, to see how much they have grown.

What’s inside

  1. 1

    Fast facts about New Year’s

    Why New Year’s Day moved from March to January, the 4,000-year-old time capsule secret, why drawing a memory helps you remember it, and how the ball drop started for ships.

  2. 2

    New Year’s traditions around the world

    12 grapes in 12 seconds in Spain, jumping into the new year in Denmark, 108 temple bells in Japan, smashing pomegranates in Greece and melting tin in Germany.

  3. 3

    My 2026 year-in-review snapshot

    A self-portrait, a favourite memory, a food hall of fame and hall of shame, and a list of current favourites.

  4. 4

    Handprint and growth tracker

    Trace a hand, then write today’s age, height, shoe size and the fastest thing they can do.

  5. 5

    Predictions and a note to my future self

    A new skill to learn next year, what the world will look like in 10 years, and a secret message to open later.

  6. 6

    How to seal your time capsule

    Roll up the pages, record a 30-second voice note, and label the “do not open until” date.
