Two Easy Foldable Letters

Kids will love these simple ways to fold a note into an envelope and make a fun foldable letter!

A great way to entice my reluctant writer is to get him writing letters.

We had lots of fun with our post office play (find our free printable post office play set here) and we’ve enjoyed using our printable letter writing set too, but recently we discovered two really easy ways to turn any old piece of paper into a letter ready to mail.

 

Easy Foldable Letter 1

This foldable letter is super easy. You can use any A4 or letter sized piece of paper for this and you don’t need to super accurate with the folds so even small hands can have a go.

Here are the step by step instructions to fold this easy envelope or letter.

Easy Foldable Letter 2

This foldable letter is a little more tricky, but still pretty simple. This one has a nifty little tuck in so it stays closed all on it’s own!

Here are the step by step instructions to fold this easy envelope or letter.

 

Free Printable Letter Papers

Of course you’ll need some pretty patterned paper to try these simple foldable letters out, won’t you. So we’ve got a free printable set that included lined paper, four different patterned papers, and some address labels and envelope seals.

Print the lined paper first, then turn over and print a patterned paper on the other side. If your printer has a ‘bordless printing’ option you can use that to print the patterned paper right to the edges.

Now you can write your letter and fold it into a nifty envelope. Cut out an envelope seal and glue it down, and add an address label too if you like and your letter is ready to send.

You can download the complete set of letter papers here.

These printables are A4 sized pdf files, if you are printing on US ‘letter sized’ paper be sure to select ‘fit’ or ‘shrink to fit’ from your printer options.
These free printables are for personal use only, you may not sell, share, email, or link directly to these files.
