Postcard Kids!


We have joined a group called Postcard Kids. We have purchased some Ohio postcards that we will trade with other members from all states, and some foreign countries as well. We already have a trade with a homeschooling family in Florida! We hope to collect postcards from all the states, and then perhaps start a collection of state birds. I'm not sure how we'll keep the cards yet. I'm thinking possibly a photo album. I was also thinking she could add some to the United States book she is making. (All her work from studying the states is being compiled in a 3-ring binder.)
I love this idea. It is such a great, and fun, way to learn more about the states!


And more information about the group is here: http://www.frugalcountrymom.com/postcardkids.html


There are other postcard exchange groups that have a more worldwide focus, but we are going to start out with the homeschooling group for the States first.
Here's the postcards we have for trading....
(including the one at the top of this post)


Edited to add: Another trade....now we are trading cards with families in Wisconsin, Virginia, and Washington DC , too!
