Since the day we made the fun foam letters, it has also received spoons, small books, and lots of cut up pieces of fun foam that are “little mail” according to my son.Īfter placing all the mail in the cardboard box, Onetime had great fun opening it up as “the jolly postman” and delivering it to various “mailboxes” all over the house and to friends over the course of the week. This mailbox has been a favourite “toy” over the last week. As you can see, he added a little decoration himself! An Unexpected Toy We didn’t get fancy and try to make it look real – it was real enough in my son’s imagination. Our mailbox was simply a large brown box that I cut a slot into. Claus of course! Jolly Postman Inspired PlayĪfter enjoying this wonderful book together, Onetime decided he wanted to be a mailman too! Where does Santa come in? Near the end of the story, our postman gets caught in a bad snow storm and Santa gives him a special sleigh ride back home on Christmas Eve – after getting a tour of Santa’s toy shop and having tea with him and Mrs. This book is fun for 3 year olds and kids of any age – it touches on so many different levels of understanding and I love reading it! There’s a puzzle, a game board, a story within a story, and more! The verse is rhyming and funny and the pictures are amazing and tell their own tale.

Each time he delivers a letter, YOU the reader get to open and read it!Īnd these deliveries are not just ordinary letters. I can’t say enough about how COOL this book is! It follows the adventures of a postman (who’s jolly of course!) as he delivers mail in a kingdom where characters like the Big Bad Wolf, the Gingerbread Boy, and Humpty Dumpty all live together.
