kids crafts





Peg dolls are really so much fun - I posted a list of peg doll ideas a while ago and every now and again am re-inspired to get them out and have some fun.

The kids made these peg dolls to send to a pen pal in Canada. The pen pal is a fellow blogger who has a teen daughter and friend who wanted to write to someone in a different country. Otilija was so excited to receive the postcard and to send off something in return. I am thinking that I would love to find a pen pal closer to her age. Is there anyone with a 6-7 year old daughter who would like to write and swap small envelopes of whatever 6 year old girls are into. Send me an email and we can discuss.

I have a five (six in July)year old who loves receiving mail and making and collecting all manner of "stuff". Except we are in Melbourne - is that too close? If you have someone reply from somewhere a little more exotic I totally understand. We are trying to work out how you knot a "scoobie" at the moment. I'm sure these would be great to swap. It's such a lovely age, still innocent, but big enough to be Mum's best friend just before we become embarrasing. Of course, I will never be an embarrasment to my daughters !! A great idea though.

Hello!
I have a 7 year old daughter and she is quite the writer! We live in the US, outside Chicago to be more specific.

My daughter is just learning to cursive write and would love to have a new friend and extra writing practice.
