Getting letters is fun...getting something extra with that letter is even better!
But what to send? Oh, we found lots of great ideas! (Most of these will fit easily in a regular envelope; some, like erasers, may need a padded envelope and some extra postage.)
* Share some lovely leaves or flowers from your neighborhood (Buggy and Buddy even made them into bookmarks!)
* Origami is a perfect fit for an envelope! How about a heart because you love to get mail?
* Did you know you can make your ownpostcards? Some cardboard, some creativity, and you're good to go!
* Stickers are easy to fold into a letter (and we always have way too many anyway!)
* Bookmarks (make your own!)
* Pen pals are long-distance friends...how about making them a friendship bracelet?
* A fun eraser
* Our pen pal is getting one of these - a craft stick superhero!

* Send a hug through the mail!
*A deck of cards would require extra postage but is lots of fun to receive!
* Share seeds that you're growing in your garden.
* A craft stick puzzle is fun to make - and fun to receive!
* You know pen pals use stationery. Pick out some cute ones - or make your own (so they can send it back to you with a letter on it!)
* Send some photos of yourself, your house, your pets...they're always fun to get!
* Make a paper airplane to mail to your pen pal. When they play with it, they'll think of you!
