Post Office
Make a post office at home
Materials
- art supplies
- craft materials
- envelopes
- glue
- name tags
- photo or drawing of each child
- shoeboxes
- tape
Directions
Create a post office in your own home!
- Decorate: Have each child decorate the inside of a shoebox. Help children make name tags, and glue them to the edges of their boxes. (They can include photographs or drawings of themselves, too.)
- Send mail: Set aside times for everyone to make cards, postcards, or drawings for each other. Children can also create small gifts with craft materials. Package these treats in envelopes for delivery to homemade mailboxes. (Be sure everyone gets mail!)
Take It Further
Take a tour of your local post office. Talk about what you see, asking questions like: Where do we put letters to be mailed? Where can we buy stamps?
With a Group
Stack and glue all the "mailboxes" together to make a family post office at home.
Based on an activity in Play and Learn with Arthur, Volume 1
