The Post Office

Available in English and Irish.

This Post Office dramatic play pack is perfect for creating a dramatic play area at home or in the classroom. It helps children understand the role of a Postman or Postwoman and what they do, building connections between children and their community.  An integral part of our community, the Post Office is a hub of activity; applying for a passport, lodging money, paying a bill, they can all be done in the post office. There is nothing quite like the excitement of sending and receiving post. The responsibility of packaging, delivering, and sorting mail is a job children love.

No dramatic play area, whether at home or in the early years classroom, would be complete without an authentic postal worker uniform.

Dramatic play in the early years

Dramatic play is an important part of early childhood development. It helps children learn about themselves, their community, and how things work. Dramatic play also supports the development of communication and social skills, problem-solving, and critical thinking.

This post office dramatic play pack is aligned with the Aistear framework. It includes lots of posters and signs for creating a print-rich learning environment whilst introducing theme-specific vocabulary, strengthening language and literacy skills.
