ready to write!

Finally the postcard game is ready to go!  Just in case you didn’t see my earlier post (it was a long time ago!), the posting game is a fun education tool to encourage reading and writing.  Every child I’ve ever known has loved the process of writing and receiving letters, and this game captures that joy over and over!  Each set includes four fabric postcards, four detachable fabric postage stamps and a water-erasable pen, all packaged (ready for fun!) in a fabric mail satchel.

We currently have a few sets in stock (as below).  Each set is unique, so if you have a particular theme in mind let me know and I can make you up a special set!

Set 1 – rainbow

Simply write on your postcard and ‘post’ it, then when you’re ready to write again simply spray with water and allow to dry before penning your next message!  The water-erasable pen makes it a super-fun experience – the writing disappears instantly (although particularly dense areas of ink sometimes require ten minutes soaking in cold water to completely remove).

The stamps are detachable, and can be swapped around between postcards.  We wouldn’t want your letter being ‘returned to sender’ because you forgot to pop a stamp on!

The mail satchel makes it easy for littlies to deliver their letters, and mum and dad will love the quick pack up – it all stores together in one place!

This game is designed for children over three years of age, and is perfect for those learning to read and write – although children of all ages adore sending and receiving mail, so it’s a game that has an enduring appeal!

Contact me if you’d like one of these posting games, or I can make up a custom set just for you!  The posting games are $40 each, and additional postcards are available for $6 each.  The sets will also be available at Under the Oak in Ulverstone from Saturday 6 September.

This game is not suitable for children under three years of age as it contains small parts (pen lid and stamps) and has a strangulation risk (bag strap).  Please supervise young children when they are playing with the posting game, and ensure it is always kept out of reach of infants.
