Here are some ideas to help you plan your Post Office/Mail week. It's helpful to put a shout out to your Daycare families prior to starting your "Post Office" week. Ask them to save "junk mail", envelopes, small boxes, mailers, Magazines (anything the kids can deliver).

Add small stickers (to be used as stamps), postcards, note cards, and extra envelopes to your Art Centers this week.

Craft Ideas:

• Use cardstock to have children create their own post cards. Children can craft/dictate a message to be mailed home (Who doesn't love receiving mail!)
• Kids can craft their own post office truck
• Using construction paper and yarn kids can craft their own mail carrier satchel

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!

Add Post Office Trucks, Play Houses, Streets, and Mail Carrier Toys
to your Construction Space this week.

This Jolly Postman small world play space was created by Amanda Strachan.
