We added this mailbox to our writing center and the kids have tons of fun with it. Whether they are writing their own letters or mailing ones we've mocked up for them, the mailbox gets a lot of use.

The mailbox is heavy duty and has lasted a bit of abuse already

I wanted to get a mailbox for our Mystery Mail at our classroom circle time. This mailbox is PERFECT! It's such a great size, very durable, and can be used in so many different ways (dramatic play, writing letters to each other, etc.)!

The 3-year-old, 5-year-old and 6-year-olds all started playing with this mailbox right away -although none of them were playing mail carriers. The older boys decided there was treasure in it while the 3-year-old, whose present it was, wanted to put his trucks in it over and over again. The mailbox is sturdy and well-constructed for all of these uses. I will say I was disappointed that the mailbox didn't contain any of the play mail that is featured in the picture, making just the Mailbox feel a bit overpriced at $40. And yet, as I say, all the kids loved it.

I bought this to be used in my classroom as a real mailbox. We get letters from parents, other classrooms, mascots, delivered in it. We also receive stickers and new materials through it. The children love to send letters back. It's very well made and I'm sure that if my kids were using it the whole day, it would still be good as new.

With its exceptional quality you really cannot get a pretend play mailbox better than this.

To help overcome the geographic distance between a niece and nephew, I send them postcards from my travels (work and personal). I have also gotten their grandparents to do it too. This is a fun way for them both to receive their mail, but also store all the things that matter to them on a given day. I just hope their parents remember to look in it if things 'disappear.'

I purchased this for my classroom and I love the size and color. It is very durable and student-friendly. The only drawback I can see is that the base isn't very stable so it sometimes tips forward when students pull open the door.

This is the best thing I have purchased. My students enjoy writing letters and mailing them to their friends. We even have a mailperson in our room to do the delivery. They get so excited when they go to the writing center.

I teach second grade and ordered this mailbox at the beginning of the school year. My students love to write notes and leave messages for me in this mailbox. I also surprise students with letters when I want to give them praise or comfort. Students love it when I check the mail!

this toy set is really cute- I wish it came with plastic letters but overall it is still a hit for pretend play! Pair with the mailman costume and its perfect.

This seems like a really solid mailbox. Unfortunately, it has a terrible smell caused by the plastic off-gassing (if that’s a word). The smell is even worse when you open the box. It’s in my garage for the near future so it can air out. I’m not going to return it as I haven’t found anything better on the market, and suspect a second box would probably smell, too.
