Adding a Post office to your Dramatic Play area adds great fun. This can be as simple as adding a few shoe boxes or bins to a table, or as complex as creating some personalized DIY mailboxes for your kiddos. Adding some satchels or fabric grocery bags to the area allows the kids to "deliver" and "pick-up" mail to their friends.
Our friend Liza D. created this pretend post office play in her space using our Post Office Dramatic Play Play Set.
Liza complimented this pack with a variety of props to add to the post office play fun!
