Low Cost Things To Do With Kids 8: Help Your Child Write a Letter and Mail it To Himself/Herself

Posted by drozzell on November 23, 2008

For the cost of a first class stamp you can treat your child to a very simple pleasure. Have your son or daughter write a letter or enclose a picture or drawing and mail it to himself/herself. If your son or daughter cannot yet write, help him or her draw or color a picture and enclose it in an envelope. Then, help your child address it to himself/herself. The final step is a trip to the post office or nearest mail box together to put the envelope in the mail. This simple activity is fun twice—first when the letter is sent, and then again when the letter is delivered. Another idea is to have your child send a letter to his/her grandparents (or the opposite parent) as a surprise.
