Playing Post Office

First, you need to write some letters and put them on an envelope with a stamp.

Don't forget to write the name of the person you are sending it to on the envelope.

Then you stick them in the mailbox.

When it's pick-up time, you bring the letters to the post office for sorting.

Then deliver them to the correct individual mailboxes.

This dramatic play has been so great for:
*Writing practice
*Fine motor skills like putting paper in envelopes and using stickers
*Working together with others while sorting and delivering the mail
*Thinking about others in a caring way

I especially loved watching some great friendship skills in action during this play, like asking someone what their favorite color is so they could use it on their letter or drawing a picture of something they knew their friend liked.
