This week for preschool class we are on the letter M. I thought it would be fun for the kids to make mailboxes. I looked online for an easy pattern but I wasn't able to find one I liked, so I came up with my own.
Here are the directions:
Cut 2 rectangles of Fun Foam. You could make it any size, the rectangle for the bottom just needs to be 1/2 the size of the rectangle for the top.
Punch holes on the short ends of the biggest rectangle. Match those up with the long sides of the smaller rectangle and mark where to punch the matching holes with a pencil. Then punch the holes on the 2nd piece of foam.
Sew the top to the bottom on both sides using a pipes cleaner (Or chenille stem, whatever they call them these days! LOL)
Cut a flag out of another piece of fun foam and attached it to the side with a brad.
Decorate it as you wish! I used some left over fun foam stickers we had on hand.
I thought these might make fun valentines "in" boxes! We might have to make some red and pink ones to swap family valentines!
I just love these. I made cardboard ones a few years ago but it was all me not the kids doing it. I always find fun things to do here. Thanks!
