Sending mail is fun, but sending it in style is even better.
I decided to make a kit for Owen as well, to help him with his writing skills this summer. He pitched in by making his own custom envelopes…
By the end of the summer we should have an album of pictures of our “kids” visiting all of our family members.

Fun idea! My kids have all done Flat Stanley in school and loved it. I am going to make some washi tape pencils when the kids go back to school.

That is awesome! One of our really good friends is gone to camp for 2 months, so this will be so much fun to do for her. Thanks for the ideas for the washi tape too! I love it, but have no idea what to do with it!

I am inspired! Thanks for the great post. Living so far away from family is not at all easy. I admit I am terrible at snail mail, but I do aim to be better! I think this is a fantastic way to get me to my "Be A Better Snail Mailer" goal.

This is such a great idea. All of our family is so spread out and we just can't make it to everyone during the summer. This will a super fun project for the kids and our family. Thank you for your wonderful ideas!
