Toy Mailbox

Take a look at an adorable toy mailbox to include in your child's play set! Encourage your child to role play and have fun pretending as if she's the mail person delivering mail.

When I was little, I had a toy mailbox. It was the cutest thing and I had tons of fun playing store or post office with my little sister. It's a special time to use the imagination and be creative as well as teach kids to be resourceful!

Kids can have fun sorting mail, adding mail to the boxes and remove letters from mail boxes to practice those fine motor skills and enjoy playing.

Childhood is such a special time for kids. They have an opportunity to learn more about how things work and they get to play with friends and pretend.

Now is as good a time as any to encourage your child to play make believe and get her involved in role playing. Provide a fun mailbox toy that she can use as a prop to pretend like she is working for the post office.

Return To Sender Sticker

I totally love this sticker. It's from Zazzle.com. It might be fun to provide some of these for your child to stamp on her envelopes to mail her important packages.

Why do you think kids love to play make believe and participate in role playing games? Children are incredibly creative and their young minds can come up with so many fun, fantasy worlds that they alone create. It's a wonderful time for them to learn more about themselves and learn to solve problems. It's through playtime with others that they learn even more!

You can choose a simple toy or you can also create your own! Get some envelopes and make them look colorful and make some "fake stamps" out of stickers that look like stamps or just make some out of construction paper. Turn a shoe box into a small mailbox by either painting it or covering it with some construction or wrapping paper!

This is also a fun toy that you can use to teach children about counting, recognizing colors and even learning the ABC's! You can sit and work with your child as he pulls out all of the letters. To customize a toy add your own cards to them with a letter of the alphabet on each one along with envelopes that are different colors. He can then identify the colors and letters for you!

Did you find a cute mailbox for your child to play with? If not, don't worry! There's always a way to make your own easily. If you have some cardboard boxes and blue craft paint then make your own homemade box! The kids won't even know the difference.
