Diaper-"Mail"-box
It's time to
take the mail out to the mailbox! Only your toddler's
mailbox is your diaper box. For a few days, save up any
junk mail envelopes. Or use some opened envelopes and
just cut off the ripped end and tape shut. Then tell
your toddler that it's time to put the mail in the
mailbox. All you'll need is that empty diaper box to
place upside down on the floor. Then let your little one
push the envelopes down through the slit that on the
bottom of the box. When he's all done pushing them
through, let him lift up the box to find all the
envelopes on the floor and do it again!
Supplies
Needed:
-
junk mail/recycled envelopes
- diaper box ( or you can use any tall box and cut a
slit in it)
Tips/Suggestions:
-
Your toddler might enjoy playing the just the envelopes,
especially if they have the plastic see through window
on them that crinkles...and that's okay! Let him have
fun with it and talk about the different sounds.
- If there are any words on the envelopes, read them to
your child (if appropriate).
- Talk about the different sizes and colors of the
envelopes.
