Who doesn't love getting mail? Every day I still head out to our mailbox fingers crossed that something lovely will be inside. Most days though its just bills and junk to sift through and throw away! Remember how fun it was to get mail when you were little ?? A birthday invitation, a card from Grandma, a note from a pen pal. Ahhh, so great! Why not let your little ones have this fun all the time? Work together to create a mailbox just for them! They'll love to decorate it exactly how they want to and you'll adore filling it with little love notes and inspirational printables that can be found all over the web!
Instructions:
1.Find what you'd like to use for the mailbox. Some ideas include-
A small metal or wood mailbox (found at your local craft store)
A shoe box
A hanging file folder
A plain colored gift bag
A napkin holder
2. Decorate. Let your little ones decorate it any way they'd like with craft supplies. This would be a great way to use up all of those old scrapbook scraps and art odds and ends.
3. Fill with love!
Here is the one we created. We just used a small shoe box, a felt flower, a paper flag and ribbon we had around the house
Enjoy!
