Post office

This past week Addie and I have been playing post office. We set up a letter making station that can be easily put away in a box; I made a post office box out of an old box and a small letter carrier bag out of some scrap fabric. The letter making station consists of paper, stickers, pretend stamps, markers, envelopes, and letter stamps.
We talked about what kinds of things need to go on a letter; name, address, stamp and where item goes on the envelope. It is also good practice for Addie to spell her name, work on her address and hear about where others live. We also talk about community helpers , people who live and work in the community and provide services.
Next we will work on creating mailboxes for her to deliver the mail to. We can work on matching the envelopes to the mailboxes by color, letter, shape or whatever concept we want, the possibilities are endless with this and it is so much fun.
