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!

Sounds like a lovely idea. Happy to give it a go. will pm address

md0u0131 · 13-06-2012, 09:49 AM

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 this with local minders,just to keep the letter writing going ,mainly the minders just reminding each other whats happening in various places. Good luck lo will love it

Hi it sounds interesting, i can giv a go! only worry is will details be kept safe?

**LauraS** · 27-06-2012, 10:03 PM

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.

**kez** · 29-06-2012, 08:44 PM

Me and the minders would love to have some pen pals if anyone is interested.

**jellybean cc** · 29-06-2012, 10:29 PM

Hi i live in the south west of England and would love the children to have penpals from other parts of the UK or world. If anyone would like to contact us pm me as well, sounds like great fun.
