I have an almost 9 year old son and an 5.5 year old son.
I know my 9 year old has had penpals from different schools in our town/nearby town and he's enjoyed that. My 5 year old can't read/write yet but he has quite the imagination.

My four year old would love to have a pen pal, I am sure! It would be good for her English too since we're expats. She can't write by herself yet, but with a little help, it sounds like a great idea

Ooh! My 9 yo ds would love a penpal! We've had flake out penpals before too and he was recently saying how I need to find him a new penpal.

that sounds like fun!
I have a 10 yo ds and a 4yo-10yo loves to get mail. I guess all kids do though

10yo ordered some stamps from a mail order company and now they send him all kinds of stuff-it thrills him to no end.

I would be willing to help organize something if we get the pen pal thing going.

I have seen a lot of cute pen pal ideas similar to themes-one was last year when the kids all made art post cards and mailed them to each other.

This seems like the perfect idea over the summer

I have an almost 5yo boy too, who would love this! Maybe since there are lots of kids this age we could organize something?
