Education of children in the correct design of mail should be started from an early age, so that such a skill was formed during a period of increased interest of the child in everything new. You can start such training by playing role-playing games with the baby, such as Mail, Telegraph. Before this, it is recommended that you visit your child’s mail and demonstrate how letters and parcels are processed and sent. Show how to write the address and index on the envelope or on the package.

Later, after the very action of sending mail via the game is mastered, you can invite your child to write a letter to a real person or fairy-tale character. Tell that in order to be guaranteed to receive a gift from Santa Claus, you need to know how to write the address so that the letter gets to him in Veliky Ustyug.
