Santa Post

Product Information

It's the time of year where our recycling bags become just that little bit plumper than normal. Shopping for Christmas presents is wonderful but tends to result in one or two more carboard boxes hanging around our homes than we would like. So why not use them in your crafting? We have a lovely, little idea for you today made from the box that our Emily Doll's Pram comes in - a very festive Christmas post box! It's mostly made out supplies that you will likely already have in your home. Your little one can write and post their Christmas wish list, followed by hours of role play fun.

Then, using your craft knife, cut out the small rectangle and only three sides of the larger rectangle leaving one of the tall sides uncut. Bend the door open along the uncut side. Time to paint! Little ones will love helping with this step. We used two coats of paint to make it look extra glossy and rich. Santa Post is posing Santa Claus such a puzzle!
