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!

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!!

Mailbox craft

Materials

Mailbox is a very simple craft made with

  • a printer
  • a piece of paper
  • some crayons
  • scissors
  • glue
     
    I always prefer to use a heavy paper (like construction paper), but it isn't necessary. 

Instructions

  • Print out the template of choice.  
     
  • Colour (where appropriate) and cut out the template pieces.  (This step may require adult assistance).
  • Glue the front of Mailbox onto the largest piece. 
     
  • Glue the face and latch onto the front of Mailbox. 
     
  • Glue the rectangle onto the bottom of Mailbox (this is the post).
  • Glue the flag onto the center of Mailbox.  
     

Templates:  

  • Close the template window after printing to return to this screen. 
       
  • Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).
