Here’s The Mail

by Erinn

My kids love the idea of getting things in the mail. Their grandparents in Florida regularly send them boxes of treats so every time the UPS man comes here they think it is for them! They now also love getting cards because they get stickers or money from family. Now they love drawing pictures and mailing them to family and friends.

This Wool Felt Mail Box for kids three and up would be perfect for my kids. It includes a mailbox, a flag, drawstring 12 x 16″ mail bag, shipping box,
3 postcards, 2 envelopes, 6 stamps, 6 address labels, and 6 messages. They all piece together with velcro. This is pricey at $59.99 and if you were a little handy with a sewing machine I am sure you could make something just like it for a fraction of the cost.
My review of this toy? Great idea, easy to play with, uses imagination and kids of various ages would like it but very expensive.

For younger kids this mailbox would be good. A spinning bee makes electronic buzzing sounds when your child bats at him. Your child can mail and retrieve “letters” from the box. We all know how much kids love opening and closing things and this would keep them entertained. Little Tykes toys are also mostly made in the U.S. and are well made.
This toy is also expensive at $99 and is really just for younger kids, I would think after 24 months old this wouldn’t hold much interest.
