We like to connect our post office theme to Valentines Day, preferably afterwards. The preschoolers enjoyed passing out their cards, placing them in their friends' Valentines holders.
Welcome to our post office! We used our puppet theater as our counter.
We had bins for sorting post cards, magazines and envelopes.
Of course, we needed pouches and baskets to store our mail!
These mail bags were made by gluing ribbon on canvas bags (purchased at a craft store).
We needed our mail carrier hats!

Have a seat! How can we help you?
We extended this at our writing table, where we could make cards for family and friends.
Stuffing the envelopes was much fun. We had to decide which envelope size worked best.
Thanks for stopping by. We've got more deliveries to make!

Thank you - I hope you do!
DeleteI love this, I must try a smaller scale one for my daughter, she loves the post office!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, this can easily be done on a smaller scale at home. Even the kitchen table can work! Preschoolers love junk mail and assorted envelopes. If you give them small baskets, they can tote them around. You can make a mailbox out of a shoe box, cutting a slit on the lid.
