The art of sending
and receiving letters.
Mailbox Friend, Miss Becky
Purpose
The purpose I’ve created Mailbox Friend is to teach children the art of sending and receiving mail. The joy a child can experience from receiving a piece of mail addressed solely to them is so unique and special.
Over the past couple of years, I've been writing letters to the children who live on the same street as me. They thought it was so neat I would send them mail that arrived in their mailbox! However, the real excitement happened when they wrote back to me. It simply made me so happy that I was getting to help them learn new skills in a fun and educational way.
I hope by creating Mailbox Friend I will be able to bring more children joy through letters in their mailbox and help them practice and develop their skills in:
Reading
Writing
Penmanship
Responsibility of replying to a letter (with words or by drawing a picture)
Learning how to address an envelope and add postage

Joyfully,

How It Works
-
Each child receives handwritten custom letters.
Children receive a range of 3 to 10 letters depending which Letter Option is selected.
-
Letters are addressed and mailed to each child.
Each letter and envelope are handwritten individually to each individual child.
-
Child writes back to Mailbox Friend.
Children write or draw back to Mailbox Friend. Depending on the child’s skill, they may need help addressing the envelope and adding postage.
-
Mailbox Friend responds to every child's letter.
Every child receives a letter from me, their Mailbox Friend, so they learn the art of sending and receiving mail.
