Mail Time

Yesterday was a rainy day and Little M. was itching to go outside. She would look out the window and just say M. outside please. I felt so bad that she was so bored and all she wanted to do was go play. So I put my mom hat on and tried to think of something fun and exciting we could do inside. Little M. loves to go to the mailbox and since it was so cold and rainy outside we couldn't go. Thats when it hit me we could make our own mail box! When I told little M. she was very excited.  I made it look more like a real mail box as opposed to the cut a hole in the top of a shoe box kind of mail box. Here is all of our fun!

I cut the front of a shoe box including the lid so that it can open as door. 

I put tape around the edge and then put on the lid. 

I cut the flag out of cardboard and made sure it worked. I used a push pin because I didn't have a tack a tack would probably look better

Then we painted!!!

Then we took some paper made some mail and played! 

This saved our rainy day Little M. played with this all day and when daddy came home she was so excited to show him!
