A simple explanation of how letters and postcards are sent and delivered worldwide, tailored for young children.
Hey there, little friend! Have you ever sent a letter or a postcard? It's really fun! Let’s learn how letters and postcards travel all around the world.
First, you need to write your letter or postcard. You can tell your family or friends about your day, what games you like, or even draw a picture!
Next, you put on a special sticker called a stamp. This stamp lets the post office know where to send your letter. It’s like a magic key!
After that, you put your letter in a mailbox. A mailbox is a big box where letters go to wait before going on a journey. It’s like a little home for your letters!
Then, a friendly person called a postman comes to pick up all the letters from the mailbox. They help all the letters start their journey. The postman goes to different places in the neighborhood, collecting letters.
Once the postman has collected the letters, they take them to a big place called the post office. Here, all the letters wait together, just like how you wait for your turn on the playground!
At the post office, there are many helpers who sort the letters. They look at each address (that’s the special information telling where the letter goes) and put them into big bags.
After sorting, the letters go on a big adventure! They might travel by a truck, airplane, or even a train. They go through different places and see lots of cool stuff!
Finally, your letter arrives at the right house. The postman delivers it to your friend or family, and they get to read your message!
Yay! Your letter has traveled all around and made someone smile. Sending letters and postcards is a fun way to say hello to people far away!
So, remember, your letters have a big journey to take! They travel from your house, through the post office, and finally to your friend’s house. Next time you write a letter, just think about the adventure it will have!
