Kids Around the World!

I think it would be so fun for kids to compile a package about the town/city that they live in and swap it with another child from another location. This is a great way to start a pen pal relationship or for your child to learn about another location through a child's eyes.

I am open to ages of the children but I am thinking at least ages 4 or 5 and up. The rules of this swap are to fill enevople up with things from the area that your child lives such as a photo of their favorite playground, candy or small snack from a local store, rocks from a nearby lake, a bird's feather from their yard, postcards from your town, a pressed flower from the community garden, etc.

I'd really like this to be a creative and thoughtful swap. Feel free to have your kids personalize the packages with their art or photos. Have them tell stories about their favorite place and help them write it out if need be. Just have fun and share your town!

Each package should weigh at least 5 ounces which would cost $1.35 within the US. I am keeping this open to international swappers too. You can have your packages weigh more, that is up to you. Please comment with any questions. This is my first time organizing a swap so I may have left some information out :)
