Have you heard of Postcrossing.com? It's a great website where you sign up to send and receive postcards with strangers around the world! This is a fun educational tool for your child and exciting for the adults in the house too. We have a huge map of the world on the wall in the kids' bedroom. When a new postcard arrives from somewhere across the globe, we mark the spot with a tack. Mom is clearly the most interested in the project. But, it is providing some excitement for the kids, who check the mail box everyday. You get to learn about a little piece of someone's life and the postcards are so beautiful and sometimes quirky! I have the urge to use them in a craft project, but the written message on the back are as beautiful as the pictures on the front. I'm torn! You'll find some of the cards we have received below.
