We have purchase some cute accessories for our dramatic play post office and we have made many. One of the teachers made cut postal worker vests the children can wear as well. We expand on these as well, with sorting activities, putting ABC on bins and alphabet letters on envelopes. You can sometimes get old envelopes from a card store and we save junk mail too. Great way to recycle old mail. We also do some patterning activities, the children have to match the pattern on the envelope to the correct mailbox. We put out pencils, paper, and stampers too.
Where did you ever find such a great mailbox? What a fun idea!!
ReplyDeleteunfortunately, I don't remember, but it was one of the early childhood supply companies, I generally use Lakeshore, Beckers, Kaplan, so it might have been one of those. Just check their dramatic play supplies.
