Looking for a fun way to teach your children about geography, history, and other cultures? Have you considered joining a postcard exchange club? The Trailmix.Net store is starting a postcard club for kids ages 2-12. Using a service called Postcrossing.com, we will be sending postcards to random addresses worldwide. As our post cards reach their destinations, this service will prompt other people around the world to send a postcard to us.
How To Participate:
If you have access to the Trailmix.Net Old Sacramento Store, check our calendar to find a scheduled postcard workshop. At the postcard workshop we will spend time writing postcards and then learn a little about the postcard destinations. Trailmix.Net will provide space, materials, pens, addresses, cards, and postage.
Each child that writes a postcard will earn a “claim ticket” that can be traded for postcards as they arrive. Postcards will be distributed to claim-ticket holders on a first-come-first-serve basis.
This is a great way to start a postcard collection, meet other families, and dream about places far away! If you decide to join us, please consider RSVPing to a workshop on our facebook fan page – it will help us make sure that we have enough materials on hand.
