Let's Send some Snail Mail!

In elementary school, we had "post office week." Each classroom made a giant mailbox, got their own classroom address, and learned about sending letters. I remember writing letters to my siblings and friends--and using cute Pound Puppy sticks as stamps. The mail person got to bring the letters to the "post office," they got sorted, and each day we all got some fun mail delivered. 

Even now, I still love to see a personalized card or note in the mailbox. How about you? 

Since we are separated by so many of our family and friends during this time, I thought it would be fun to create some letter templates (blank + lined) for kids (and adults!) to use to send some happy mail :) Even if you kids aren't writing or don't enjoy writing, they could color the pictures and add their own drawing too! If your kids are older, you can also use this as an opportunity to practice writing their address and learning about the postal system. Make it a little more magical and fun by lighting some candles, offering a treat, and putting on some music :)

We plan on writing a list of friends/family to send a letter to this week and sending them off--once we replenish our stamps since I don't think Pound Puppy stickers will work these days ;)  

If you use the letter templates, I'd absolutely loved if you shared (because the more sharing, the more friends can find them and use them too, right?) The world could definitely use a burst of happy + cheerful notes in their mailboxes right now :) 

Have a good one!
