Setting Up Your Own Post Office

Every kid loves mail!  And the concept lends itself to so many great activities. If you're looking for an invitation for your kids to get creative we suggest setting up your own mini post office.  We've gathered a few of our favorite postal picks to get you started.

Felt Mailbox Play Set, Postman Costume, Melissa and Doug Alphabet Stamp Set, Toy Mail Truck, Minted Personalized Stationery, Melissa and Doug My Own Mailbox, Stamps, Melissa and Doug Storytelling Paper, Classic #2 Pencil, Magic Rub Erasers (12 pack), Melissa and Doug Sort and Stamp Mailbox

Check the dollar bins at Target for small mailboxes too.  We've used them for lots of different activities, like a place to leave pre-written notes from a parent on a long business trip, or treats during special holidays.

We are constantly on the lookout for opportunities for our children to make positive connections with other children.  International Pen Pals will connect your child with other children from around the world (for a fee).  And this is a fantastic service opportunity to send cards to hospitalized children.

As always, we could love to hear more ideas from you!
