Spread the Love Postcards
Spread the Love Postcards
Ages: All ages!
Description: Stuck at home? Too much technology? Spread the love via snail mail or hand deliveries. We all need a little love right now! Who do you care about? Who needs a little love?
Conversation Questions: Journal about, think about or ask each other:
- Who is important to you?
- Why do you enjoy or value this person?
- How can you spread joy and let other people know you care about them?
- Who are people outside of your immediate circles who you care about? (Ideas: Neighbors, community members, grocery store workers, etc.)
Supplies:
- Thick paper like cardstock, cardboard or food boxes (think Cheez-It boxes or cereal boxes)
- Scissors (you can even tear it if you don’t have scissors)
- Items to use for decoration: Magazines/colored paper for collage, markers and pens
- Glue stick
- A stamp to mail your postcard…or not if you’d like to hand deliver it. (Keep your 6+ foot distance of course!)
Steps:
- Cut your thick paper into a postcard sized shape (COOL OPTION: Postcards don’t have to be rectangular…Cut out a wacky shape! Just make sure it’s around the size of a postcard)
- Decorate one side with drawings or collage. This side could be inspired by the recipient. Do dogs make them happy? Draw a dog! Do memes make them happy? Make your own meme!
- On the other side, write your special person’s address on the right side, and a special note on the left! Some things to think about:
- What do you like about this person? Tell them!
- What makes you happy? Tell them!
- How does this person make you happy? Tell them!
- Put a stamp on it and send it in the mail OR take a walk and leave it on a neighbor’s doorstep.
