TIME CAPSULE STONES Gather a collection of memorabilia that reminds you of the important events of the past year. Look for miniature toys or decorative key chains that symbolize larger events you are trying to portray. Examples you could use: A baby rattle to stand for the new baby you had that year or a fishing fly or lure (hook side down!) to remember the summer fishing trip - get the idea? Using a stick or plastic knife, carve the year in the middle of the stone. Arrange your objects around the date and leave the mold to set up.

TIME DIAL The basic stepping stone can also make a fun time-dial. Purchase Roman numeral clock numbers at a craft and hobby store. The dial need to be rather long and weather proof. I suggest using a brass plant hanging arm or metal shelf bracket for best results. Check out a book from your local library to learn how to tell time with your new dial.
