I don't know if this is considered a swap but I thought I'd put it there.
My ds is always saying he doesn't get mail so I thought a kid penpal "swap" would be a neat idea.

If you are interested please list your childs name, age & sex and I will try to match similar ages/sex. Hopefully we are able to get even amounts of signups so that we can make it work for everyone

Sign ups are from now until Thursday and then I will try to have everyone matched and listed by sunday night.

I will list the matches and then everyone can PM eachother for addresses and whatever other details you'd like.

Sound fun?

I voted one each - IMO it might be better for the kids to have a "faraway friend" who's into the same things (sports, games, movies, etc.), and they can get to know each other very well through letters. Depending on ages, but my 8yo would have a hard time remembering and keeping up with 9 other kids esp if my 3yo got a hold of and colored all over said letters/cards.

Been known to happen

However it turns out, I'm game. Mine would love to get mail too, he writes to family but most of them can't/don't write back every time.

I voted for one each.
I have three children and they would all like a penpal.

Hope

I am interested. We started with a pen pal from here, but it fizzled out and Ben keeps asking when his pen pal will write to him. So we would love one. I think more than one would be confusing to him.

BTW, we would want 1 for Ben, age 5. Interests include geography, human body, reading, computer games.

ETA: He would prefer a boy. He is in an "I dont like girls except for mama, Elly, Gramma, Aunt Karen, my teachers......" lol

I voted one each as well. I know Hannah and Jessica both would love to participate. Hannah is 8 and Jessica is 7.
