As a family, creating traditions is important as it strengthens the bond among members and creates long-lasting memories. Traditions, no matter how big or small, can bring the family together and make them feel more connected. Starting these traditions can be hard, but it doesn’t have to be! Here are 5 easy DIY projects to start family traditions.

1. Create a Family Time Capsule

  • 📦🕰️📜

Assemble a time capsule that represents your family’s current time to be opened years later, and fill it with items that have importance and meaning to each family member. As you make those memories, add them to the time capsule. After years, the family can open the time capsule, reminisce on memories, and create new ones as they add more items.

2. Make a Family Recipe Book

  • 📖🥘👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Gather all the family recipes and create a family recipe book. Have each member contribute their favorite recipe along with a photo, description, and story about why it’s their favorite. The recipe book can be passed from generation to generation with the legacy of the family’s recipes and stories.

3. Create a Family Gratitude Jar

  • 🙏🏽💬🏺

Get a jar and let each family member drop in a gratitude note daily. Put a pen and paper beside the jar, and anyone can write a note whenever they please. Over time, the family can use the notes for reflection and even read them out during thanksgiving or special family occasions.

Board games and card games are a fun way to bond as a family. Gather together and choose a game that everyone would love to play. Encourage each family member to create their own custom game based on their interests; this could be an excellent way to learn new things about each other.
