Start by keeping it short, simple and sweet.

Different age-groups can establish different objectives for an effective penpaling activity.

We would love to have a dialogue with the child's parents and/or teachers to better understand the child's cognitive, emotional and social development to make this activity even more impactful.

Don't forget to check out the following samples on Pinterest. Don't hesitate to contact us if you need help.

💡Penpaling can be a very rewarding activity however not without the involvement of a parent/guardian/teacher.
