Thing of the Week - Posty

As part of the launch of 50 Things in Southwark, we are focusing on 1 of the 50 activities in this amazing app. Next is ‘Posty’

Pretend to be a Posty!

This week’s activity is a lovely one for Christmas and the new year…

You cand write, draw, paint or stick and create an arty picture to send in the post to someone special.

Or how about making a pretend post box at home? Paint a cardboard box and cut a hole and your away… you could even pretend it’s a magic post box to speak to the elves and write replies to your child from the elves!

This activity is great for learning new skills and encouraging reading, writing and language development.

A great book recommendation is Paddington’s Post – this book has real letters to open inside.

For more information on this activity including how to do it, the benefits, top tips and resources, download the free 50 Things app from Google Play or the Apple Store.
