Mailbox Card Sort 📫

If you're anything like our family, we get gifted a ton of Amazon, Target, and restaurant gift cards each Christmas or holiday season. Obviously, we love it! But what to do with all of the spent gift cards? Don't get rid of those spent gift cards just yet! My little people love to play with old ID cards, gift cards, etc. I decided it would be fun to turn our old Melissa and Doug Mailbox into a card sort! This is especially fun for Mr. Two Year Old who has a hard time sorting the wooden envelopes that come with the Melissa and Doug set. I simply got some painters tape and drew shapes on pieces to put next to the card slots. Then, I took all of our old gift cards and cut up some tiny cardstock pieces (for extra cards) and drew matching shapes on them. My preschooler pretended that they were Christmas mail and gifts that hadn't been delivered yet! Super simple, quick way to recycle those cards and still allow your kiddo to flex his or her sorting and fine motor skills!! Don't stress if you don't have this mailbox! A simple shoebox with slots cut out or an old Amazon box will do as well!
