So today while we were playing post office, I decided we should make a mailbox.
Here is what you need. A Cheese-It box because they are sturdy and a good size. Brown paper bag or these book covers I found at target for 39 cents. Packing Tape, Scissors and a utility knife.This is how we did it (2x because I didn't want them to fight)
You wrapt it like a present except the top, because you need to get the letters out.
Then you cut a hole out of the top.
Then you print the logo. Here is the link to the Post Office Logo.
I just cut and taped it on.
Now it is time to play!

I get such a rush using up my recyclables to make cool activities with the kids. #1 it's free, #2 the kids love it more than store bought because they get to make it their own. I love all your ideas. Im so doing the milk cap stamps in school this year. So Cool!
ReplyDeleteI loved this mailbox idea. My son loves getting mail and playing mail carrier. The mailbox with the opening was a very clever idea. We're on our second one already. Thank you!
