mailbox craft

My kids love to get mail!! I am always dividing up the junk mail so they can each get their own letters!  The other day in continuing our paper plate craft series we made a Paper Plate Mailbox.  The kids loved it because we then wrote letters to eachother and delivered them.  You could add to this writing their names on it.  We hung them on the kids doors.
