About the Message Monsters set: Includes four stamps picturing illustrations of different monsters by Elise Gravel. Selvage includes lots of stickers to accessorize the monsters and make sending mail a more interactive experience. It was also hoped that these designs would help get children more interested in stamps and sending mail.
History the stamp represents: In the Digital Age, it’s not often we receive personal correspondences in the mail. It’s usually bills, ads, and other junk mail. However, when we do receive a letter or card from a loved one, it makes our day a little extra special. That’s even more true for children – who often receive no mail at all.
In 2021, the USPS issued four Forever stamps picturing fun and colorful monsters. The intent was to encourage children to take interest in stamps and mail. One of the best ways to do that is by having them send short letters to friends and family. This has the added bonus of helping young children work on their reading and writing skills without it feeling like schoolwork. And receiving a letter from a child is sure to put a smile on anyone’s face.
Writing letters can even turn into a group activity involving the whole family. Older children can write the letter while their younger siblings can add fun decorations like stickers or glitter. And, of course, parents can help address the letter properly and point out where the stamp goes. Then everyone can get together to walk the letter to the mailbox or drive it to the post office.
Letter writing may not be as common as it used to be, but that makes it all the more special when you do send something personal in the mail.
