Leaf a Reply-Family Tree Celebration

How To Make It

Step 1: Print out the Leaf Template. One for each member of the family.

Step 2: Put one copy for each member of the family at the address you are sending it to in an envelope.(example: If you are sending it to Aunt June, include one for Uncle Ben and Cousin Annie too)

Step 3: Put your name on an envelope. Adhere the return postage stamp to it. Fold it in half and put it in the envelope.

Step 4: Address the envelope, apply postage, and send.

Step 5: Check your mail.

Helpful Tip For Parents

You may want to include a letter to your family, and let them know why you are sending them leaves. This is a great way to teach your preschooler about mail. Like how to address an envelope, where the stamp goes and patience in waiting for a reply.

Another thing you could do is get a globe or map. Everytime you send or get a letter, place a sticker on the place it came from. Teaching your preschooler a little bit about geography.
