Grandparent and Grandchild Pen Pal Kit: 12 Months of Letter Prompts

Letters Between Us is a 30-page printable pen-pal kit for a grandparent and a grandchild who live far apart. It gives you one slow, lasting thing to do together for a year: write a letter each month, in both directions.

Each of the twelve rounds has two pages. The grandparent page has a prompt (a window from long ago, a game, a first job, a song), a starter line to begin with, a box for answering the last letter, and lines to write on. The child page answers it: the child is asked about their own window, their own game, their own song. Younger children draw in a large picture box, older children write on the lines, and each child page ends with one question for the grandparent that the next letter can answer.

Inside: how the year works (page 2), tips for writing a letter a seven-year-old will keep, for the grandparent and for the parent (page 3), twelve grandparent pages and twelve child pages in pairs (pages 4 to 27), an envelope to color and address (page 28), twelve blank stamps to design (page 29), and a stepping-stone map to color as each letter is sent (page 30).

How to use it: print the kit on US Letter or A4 paper. The grandparent keeps the grandparent pages; the child gets the child pages. Write on the page and fold it to fit an envelope and mail it, or copy it onto your own paper and keep the page. A printed gift for a grandparent, a grandchild, or both.
