Learning About the Mailbox

Materials

  • Shoebox with lid
  • Scissors
  • Unopened junk mail

Directions

  1. Cut a large slit in the lid of a shoebox.
  2. If you like, cover the box and lid (separately) with colored paper, or decorate with paints, markers, and stickers.
  3. Place the lid on the box and show your toddler how to "mail" letters.
  4. If you don't mind her doing so, she may enjoy ripping open the letters as much as mailing them.
  5. Store the mail inside the box when play is over.
