WRITING ACTIVITY
Write and mail a letter to someone special!
Write and mail a letter to someone special!
Materials Needed:
- Paper
- Envelope
- Pens/ pencils
- Stickers/ washi tape
- Stamps
Instructions:
Think of someone who you would like to surprise with a kind letter. Maybe a grandparent or other relative who lives far away? Or perhaps a friend you haven't seen for a while. Write them a letter all about yourself and ask them how they are and what they're doing. You can decorate it with pictures, stickers and washi tape to make it bright and beautiful!
We don't receive many fun letters in the mail anymore so this will be a great surprise. Maybe you could write to lots of people! You never know, you may receive a letter back to if you remember to include your address.
