The art of slowing down, conversing through written thoughts, sealing them in an envelope, and putting it in the post is not only practical, but it is a treasured past time. As apart of our weekly homeschool lessons, we write letters to our penpals. This has helped us practice our neat penmanship, spelling, grammar and handwriting. We have acquired several penpals, and keeping track of all our addresses is a challenge so I created this packet to give my children some independence and build up their confidence in their own writing skills. This packet was created for my children but I thought it might help yours too!

My children have been writing penpal letters for a year now and I’ve discovered a few obstacles that make letter writing challenging for them to do without me. My hope is to encourage independence so they can freely write letters and send them out with little assistance. This is an all inclusive download to help your child learn how to write a proper letter, address the envelope and keep track of what letters they need to reply to.

Here’s what included:

• 15 page download - available instantly

• Envelope Sample Guide - to help your children know how to address an envelope

• Blank space to record their own address

• Page to record penpal addresses (2)

• Penpal Tracker - keep track of what letters received and what needs to be replied to

• 5 Letter writing tips for correspondence

• Sample letters to help your child know what to write (2)

• Printable Stationary (5) with lines- custom designed by my own children for yours!

If you’re like me, you’re hoping to encourage your children to write letters through Penpals. Writing letters is a lost art, especially in our digital age, so it’s my hope to reclaim this important human skill while fostering long-distance friendships. Letter writing is a gift because someone has taken time to write and think and express love. Is there anything better than receiving a hand-written letter in the mail? Let this packet be your child’s guide to confidently start writing penpal letters! So grab a cozy cup of tea, print off this packet, and write some treasured letters to your favorite pens pals!
