My little ones - particularly schoolies but also the 3yo too love writing letters and posting them.

Would anyone like to be our penpals? They'd love some letters back. If you do just pm me your address and we'll get writing!

Fab, on a similar note has anyone ever done this before with settings from other countries? That would really excite them a letter from a long way away!

We do postcrossing and it's awesome. You can specify what sort of postcards you want, and what you want the sender to say, and most postcrossers are really obliging. You can learn a lot about other places and cultures and ways of life.

Haven't sent any this month but last month sent postcards to Belarus, Poland and Texas and got cards from Pensylvannia, China and Latvia. :D
