My grandkids love getting mail, and I am sure all children love going to the mailbox and finding mail addressed to them. I am hosting a Kids "This is My State" Postcard Swap. This will be like the card swaps the farmgirls have had for holidays. Every child who is signed up will send a "souvenir of their state" postcard to every child who signs up - maybe a historical monument or special place or building. This is also a great writing assignment for children, and a great way for them to learn interesting facts about other states.
Signups end: May 15
Cards to be sent out by: June 15
When signing up, please mention your state and send me your child's name(s), ages (if you want), and address through a private message so I can make a list and send it out to everyone who is participating.

Thanks for the update, Betty. It is too bad when some people don't follow through, but it is possible the USPS lost them, I guess. Maybe we can do this again next year.

All of ours have been sent out some time ago. There are a few that we haven't received but the girls are pleased with what they have received! We were late but got them all out!

Did everyone get all the postcards from others? I need to check with my DIL to see if they got theirs.

Good evening,
Just wanted to say that the boys were very jealous that I received post cards in the mail today and they did not. Patience is so hard when a person is young.

That sounds good Holly. That way the kids will get postcards days apart instead of all at once.

Good evening,
WE sent out one boy's cards today. In a couple of days I will send the next boy's cards and then couple of days later the third. This is the easiest writing assignment I have gotten any of them to do.
Sweet dreams,
Holly

This sounds like ya'll are having a fun summer adventure. I know kids love to get mail. That was my granddaughter's life line last summer when she was having her proton beam radiation at M. D. Anderson in Houston. Seven weeks away from family was hard. I tried to send a small package every other day, so she could go to the office of the RV park and ask if she had mail. She really looked forward to mail days and the little surprises.

My granddaughters were so excited to show me their post cards from Phillip and Robert. They are staying with me next week so will be working on getting theirs out. Thank You Linda for doing this, what a fun summer project for the kids.

Good evening,
My boys were very excited to get their postcards from Phillip and Richard. We have talked about the post card swap and what pictures to use now it is a reality for them. Thank you for doing the swap.

My grandtwins mailed their postcards today. My older grandson still needs to write and send his. I made them all and had to make 9 different cards so the multiple-kid households didn't get duplicate cards. LOL! They are all places, things, or critters that are related to Texas! Hope your kids like them.
