Hooray Mail

Have you guys seen Hooray Mail? Its a subscription service where your child gets mail twice a month. Olivia is obsessed with checking the mail and always said "dat for me?" Unfortunately, it's usually never for her. 

Sometimes I'll read a wedding invitation and pretend its for her. Says .. Olivia, congratulations on becoming a big sister! She'll light up and carry the card around with her. 



You can choose who the card is from - we chose "mama and dada." And it's specifically addressed to them. Or as Olivia says, "look mama it has my letters on it!" (Which, by the second card changed to "This says my name. I open this." Seriously, how do they grow up so fast?)




Each card has a fun activity for you to play with your child geared toward the 2-6 year old range. 

Our first card was all about food. Her favorite!! We talked about her favorite healthy food "mac and cheese!" And realized we needed to start talking about what constitutes a healthy food. She loved having me fill in the plate with her favorite foods. (Hot dog, mac and cheese, and gummies). 



Our second was an Earth day theme. She loved that she could 'read' the card herself with the pictures. We went around the yard on our scavenger hunt and talked about all the different things in the year. We never found a butterfly though!

  4. What a fun kid mail option! I love your story of pretending invitations are for her. Now that she recognizes her name your cover might be blown. How do they pick up on this stuff so quickly!?!? Olive gets a few pieces of mail each month so I know she'd love mail with a fun activity.
