Today I had the kids make some mailboxes as part of schooling. This is partly in anticipation of Valentine's Day and partly as a ruse to encourage Brie and Reese to develop their writing and reading skills. My thought is to write notes to the kids and put them in their mail box and have them write back. I saw an idea like this in Family Fun magazine (GREAT magazine with a ton of ideas) and am finally ready to try it out.
Here's how we made the "boxes":
Started with a large oatmeal container
Got rid of the shiny paper. Provided crafters with assortment of multi-media art supplies and...
...voila!
Didn't Ben do an amazing job with his? The boy's got talent ;)
Now, the only question is where to put them (am hoping I can nail them to the wall, but not sure if Dave will go for it :) )
