The girls have been quite into the mail for a few years now. It's such a great way for them to learn to write and spell. Who doesn't love mail? I'm keeping track of more ideas for mail fun. They sent their last pen-pal letters rolled up in these cans along with some buttons, fabric, and bits. We stuck the stamps and mailing label directly on the cans and they got to their destination just fine. I have no clue where I got these cans. I know I bought them in Seattle, like, 10 years ago. It was one of those supplies I was saving, and then I realized it was time to use them. Who needs to save little cans for over 10 years?
