Postcard Exchange

I just found out about this postcard exchange yesterday and am so happy to share it with you. I am hoping we can have lots of participation in this. I found it on the Counting Coconuts blog and she had found it at the Children Grow, Children Explore, Children Learn blog. I think this will be a great way to incorporate geography for the girls. We have worked on maps a little before. They love to watch Dora! And a while ago we made a map of our town (I believe this was before the break for summer). I plan on covering it with contact paper and using velcro to attach specific landmarks in our town. But that is a lesson for another time as I plan on being able to go for a walk and be able to point out a few specific landmarks at a time, like Dora does, just 3 to keep track of where we are going. And obviously right now, we are NOT going for a walk around town, BRRRRR!

Anyhow, I think it will be great to be able to receive and share postcards and be able to mark on a map where they come from. I think it would be cool to receive them from other countries as well.

Anyway, if you want to join the fun, here's what you need to do:

1. Simply leave me a comment letting me know you're interested and I in turn will be in touch via email to exchange our mailing addresses.
2. Agree to "pay it forward" - i.e. send a postcard back to me. And, if you're interested, post about this on your own blog and get others involved, too. If you do, please include a link to my blog, thank you.
3. When selecting your postcards, choose ones with geographical pictures or images of things specific to where you live. This will so help us learn about where others live.
