Pretend post office printables: postage stamps, envelope, parcel form

Children write letters, stamp them and deliver them in a pretend post office. The printable pieces are a sheet of postage stamps, an envelope template and a parcel form. The nine pictures show stamps with animals and flowers, a dashed envelope with a stamp box, and a parcel form with a barcode strip, in sepia-and-navy vintage, bright cartoon and plain black line. Type a different theme, such as airmail, and the pieces follow.

• a pretend post office in a preschool
• a letter-writing activity at home
• a classroom unit on addresses
• a delivery game with parcels

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
