Our mini mailbox template is super easy to create! Available to print in colour and black and white you can pick which download option you want by simply clicking on the down arrow beside the download button.
How to create your mini mailbox:
- Cut out the Mini Mailbox front and back templates.
- Then, cut out the mail slot on the front template.
- On the back template, you will notice a dotted line – cut along this to create a flap.
- Attach tab ‘A’ to the Mini Mailbox back where shown.
- Fold all other tabs.
- Complete the assembly of the Mini Mailbox by sticking the remaining tabs in place.
Whole-Class Mailbox for the Classroom
Print the Colour template on an A3 sheet and assemble a ‘not so mini’ postbox for the whole class.
Students post their positive letters and messages to their peers. The teacher acts as the delivery person by checking the mail, stamping it and delivering to the individual students.
Individual Mailbox for the Classroom
Provide students with the Black and White option for them to colour and add their name to the front of the mailbox.
The mailboxes can be placed on each student’s desk or all together in one location. The teacher can deliver written notes to each student that can be read out during a ‘mail time’. This is also a great opportunity for teachers to deliver some positive reinforcement to students in the form of some happy mail!
