My four year old has recently become obsessed with sending and receiving mail. Some friends and I set up an impromptu mail club for our kids because, apparently he's not the only one who asks if there is anything for him every.single.day. Here is a list of fun things you can send in an envelope with just one stamp to send to a child in your life - trust me it will make their day!
- Empty balloon
- Coloring page or activity page
- Mad libs
- Scavenger hunt list
- Secret message (draw a picture or write a note with a white crayon, recipient colors on top with a marker to reveal the message)
- Recipe
- Pictures/photographs
- Postcards
- Coins for the piggy bank
- Leaves or flowers
- Make your own puzzle – cut a photo into pieces
- Hangman Puzzle with a few letters filled in or clues
- Words to a silly song
- Jokes
- Glitter
- Lotto scratch tickets
- Stickers
- Glow sticks
- Googly eyes
- Feathers
- Treasure map (look up a McDonalds (or other fun location) in the recipient’s city and help your child write out directions or draw a map of how to get to the secret spot, include a dollar to buy a “treasure” when they get there)
- Packet of seeds to plant
- List of favorite learning websites
- Stencils
- Origami paper with instructions for a simple creation
