We have been doi...We are so in love with real mail. We have been doing pen-pal programs for years. Actual pen pal matches and writting cousins. I did one homeschool year of littlepassports.com That was fun and super different. Last year we did a mommy foodie pen-pal for almost six months. It was for mom but we all had fun putting local foods together and sending it off. Then, we would get one in returen and enjoy food from some other part of the country.<br /> I am not sure where y'all live but maybe we can do a pen-pal package to each other and introduce ourselves my kids are 16,14,10,7.

My sons love getting mail, ...Thanks for the ideas. My sons love getting mail, I'm always trying to think of new ways for them to get something in the mailbox. I like your idea of creating return address labels and personalized stickers.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15592272251459739767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1684912259946202162.post-11278312928025228492012-12-10T15:02:49.313-05:002012-12-10T15:02:49.313-05:00Thanks the info. Another good one is postcrossing....Thanks the info. Another good one is postcrossing.com. It's free and it links you with someone around the world to send a postcard to and you'll get one in return. Once the person receives yours you can send another. Great way for kids to learn geography and about other cultures.<br /><br />I also signed my son up for the Lego Club which is also free and he gets a Lego magazine in the mail every now and then :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17545783664752865643noreply@blogger.com
