MAILBOX CRAFT     

Mail Song: 
                     Here's the mail, it never fails.
                     It makes me want to wag my tail.
                     When it comes I want to wail - Mail!

Mailbox is a very simple craft made with a printer, a piece of paper, some crayons, scissors and glue.  I always prefer to use a heavy paper (like construction paper), but it isn't necessary.

Tammy adds:  On the Mailbox craft I had an idea you could print out the box and latch and things on heavy paper and then paint or glue construction paper on a empty wrapping paper roll and then glue or tape the mailbox to his poll!!
