This printable grandparent pen pal set deepens and celebrates the special bond between little kids and their grandparents--whether they live near or far. The set includes 12 months worth of back-and-forth letter templates, designed to suit little kids' interests and abilities. There are two letter templates for each month: a letter template for little kids to send to their grandparent(s), and a letter template for their grandparent(s) to reply with.
Templates for kids are perfect for toddlers and preschoolers ages 3-6 who are not yet proficient writers but who enjoy drawing and creating art for their loved ones.
Templates for grandparents make it simple and fun to send special replies to grandkids.
At the end of 12 months, both grandparent and grandchild will have a year's worth of keepsake letters to treasure.
Easily printed on standard 8.5" x 11" paper and mailed using a standard letter envelope. Print as many copies as you like, for multiple children, multiple sets of grandparents, etc.
These were designed with grandparents in mind, but they work equally well for other adults (aunts, uncles, parents, family friends) you want your child to be able to stay in touch with.
