I have a 2 1/2 year old who loves to play post office. To do this I took a box, cut four slots into the width of an envelope and only 1/4 inch or so thick. Underneath each one I glued a different shape in a different color. Then, I took 24 envelopes and glued 6 of each shape onto them, ending up with 24 envelopes in 4 shapes to match the slots. Then I showed him how to find the right slot or mailbox to deliver it to. I had all of the supplies on hand so this was virtually free. </p> <p>I am also an endorser of imaginative play. I just started reading your blog and am playing catch-up because I am sorry I didn't find it sooner. Thanks for your hard work!!!</p> I know you posted this almost a year ago, but I have a great idea. I have a 2 1/2 year old who loves to play post office.
