Discover how letters and postcards make their journey across the globe, explained in a fun and simple way for kids aged 6.
Hi there! Have you ever sent a letter or received a postcard? It’s exciting, right? Let's learn how this works, step by step!
First, you write a letter or a postcard. You can use pretty paper or a fun postcard with pictures on it. Don’t forget to say who it’s for and write your name!
If you have a letter, you might want to put it inside an envelope to keep it safe. Make sure to seal it with a sticker or some tape!
This is important! You need to write the address of the person you’re sending it to on the front. This tells the mail carrier where to deliver your letter or postcard.
Next, you put a stamp on the envelope. The stamp is like a ticket that shows you’ve paid to send your mail. You can choose fun stamps with animals, flowers, or even superheroes!
Now, it’s time to send it! You can drop it in a mailbox that you find outside on the street. The mailbox might be bright blue or red, and it's where all the letters go to get on their journey.
After you post your letter, a friendly mail carrier comes to collect the mail from the mailbox. They take care of lots of letters and postcards every day!
Your letter will go on a trip! It might travel in a mail truck, on a plane, or even on a boat. It travels far to reach the place where your friend or family member lives.
Finally, when it arrives at the right place, the mail carrier delivers it to your friend’s mailbox or door. Your friend will be so happy to get your letter or postcard!
And that’s how letters and postcards travel all around the world! It’s like a little adventure for your message. Try sending one yourself and see how exciting it is!
