A small setup for meaningful mail play

Use the sampler for mail carrier dramatic play, a community helpers theme, or a simple preschool literacy center. Children can write, sort, label, and deliver pretend mail using supplies already in the room. The sampler is a small taste of the full Post Office dramatic play kit, which adds letter templates, a mailing slip and a tracking receipt.
