Smiling mail carrier delivering a heart envelope to a decorated mailbox outside a house.

Heart Mail Carrier at a Fancy Mailbox

A cheerful mail carrier slips a heart-sealed envelope into a swirly mailbox topped with two hearts beside a cozy house.

🎨 How to color it

Give the mail carrier’s jacket a sky blue, her cap a cherry red with a pink heart badge, the mailbox a lavender purple, and the house a buttery yellow. Use chunky crayons or markers for the big jacket, pants, roof, and mailbox shapes, and let your child color right over the tiny grass tufts if they want. Try making the two hearts on top of the mailbox different colors, like bubblegum pink and sunny orange, so they look like a secret signal.

Willa’s Mailbox Whoosh — Every day, Willa marched down Zigzag Lane with her bag bump-bump-bumping and her shoes tap-tap-tapping. Read the full story →

Every day, Willa marched down Zigzag Lane with her bag bump-bump-bumping and her shoes tap-tap-tapping. She wanted to deliver every heart letter before the bakery bell dinged, so she counted mailboxes as fast as popcorn pops.

Until one day, the swirly blue mailbox at number seven sneezed, “Whoosh!” Because of that, Willa peeked under its red flag and found a tiny folded map, warm as toast. Because of THAT, she raced past the leafy tree, around the yellow house, and back to the mailbox, where two wooden hearts clicked open like doors.

Inside was a little note: “Please feed me one brave letter.” Willa slid in the envelope with the heart seal. The mailbox chimed ding-ding before the bakery bell. Next time you spot that swirly mailbox, can you find where the whoosh was hiding?
