A great way to stay in touch with grandkids

The enclosed cards have wonderful ideas for letters to send back and forth with grandkids. However, I think my granddaughter is still a bit too young to appreciate it, so I will wait a couple years to use this.


What a wonderful gift to create memories

We gave this to my MIL for Christmas as a way to help my youngest child with their writing and to connect with Grandma. My little one was SO excited to get a letter today and cannot wait to write back!


Great, fun prompts, encourages communication

We purchased for grandparents to write our daughter. So far, we have received one letter from our Mimi and replied. The prompts are nice and the design is fun. We love it! I have a 4 year old doing the replying, so this is perfect for her verbalizing what she wants me to write and mail back with any drawings or photos. We are loving this and it is perfect for us so far! If I had older children, I would love to see some extra lined sheets to reply on, like a few extra sheets of stationery, to be mailed with the letters from the person initiating the correspondence. Overall, recommend for anyone looking to just touch base in a fun way and stay connected long-distance!


Grandparents and grandchildren are separated by the pandemic

The child is a little young to write on her own, and this gift to the family encouraged her to help her sister write and to write her own letters or emails to their grandparents. Anything that gets an adolescent to write more has been helpful. Since there are just a few cards in the set, adding a list of suggested "writing prompts" (ideas of questions or topics for additional letters) in the package might also be helpful.


Fun, unique and Adorable!

This has been so sweet and fun for my kids and parents, who are quite old, to get to have some connection during a time when we can'g visit htem in person, due to Covid. It is special, and I know we'll hold on to the letters forever.


So cute! Kids and grandparent love it!

Really cool keepsake for the kids when grandpa writes back.


Great concept and fun for all

Great idea and my daughter loves getting mail and it's a fun way to stay in touch with out of state grandparents....a little disappointed in the "postcards" as you need to enclose in an envelope. Also wish more envelopes were included for response letters


Love this for long-distance grandparents

It was a gift.


Good quality

This is a nice set, good size and quality. We gave it to my mom for Christmas. Her pen pal can't wait to start sharing notes! This will be a nice keepsake also. We plan to photo copy the notes so each pen pal has a set.


Not worth the money

This is a very cute idea, but there is hardly anything in it. Only 4 cards to send and a tic tac toe game. Very disappointing.

Response from merchant

Thanks for your feedback. We're sorry that you didn't enjoy the Pen Pal Set.

Were we supposed to buy two sets, one for grandparent and one for grandchild? We gifted this to the grandparent out of state and, having received the first letter, have nothing to send back. Obviously we can use our own paper and envelope, but it feels like we're missing something here.

Verified reply from Lelio

You should use your own stationery when writing back. The one teeny exception would be the Tic Tac Toe activity, as that would require multiple envelopes since you are sending the card back and forth! The Grandparent kit is meant to prompt correspondence between grandparent and grandchild with its whimsical questions and activities.


Is this for a grandchild to send to a grandparent OR the opposite?

Verified reply from Allison

It's a Pen Pal set so you'd send letters back and forth! So nice!


What is the intended age range for children ?

Verified reply from Deniqua

Ages 6-12.

Reply from Kelly

3-13


can this product be used for an aunt and niece or does it specifically state grandparent on the letters?

Verified reply from Norma

There are several references to Grandparent and Grandchild.


Are stationery refills available

Verified reply from Deniqua

Stationary refills are not available.


Does the correspondence begin with the child or the grandparent?

Verified reply from Melody

It's solely up to them!


What exactly comes in the Grandparent Pen Pal Set?

This thoughtful kit includes everything needed for meaningful correspondence: 4 back-and-forth correspondence flat cards, 4 unique letterhead sheets, and 8 cheerfully illustrated envelopes. Each piece is designed to make letter-writing fun and engaging for both grandparents and grandkids.


How does this pen pal set work for creating connections between generations?

Both grandparents and grandchildren fill in fun prompts, create lists, and complete engaging activities on the specially designed cards and letterhead. The thoughtful prompts guide meaningful conversations while the playful envelope illustrations make each letter feel like a present to open. It's perfect for strengthening bonds, especially for long-distance relationships.


What age range is this pen pal set appropriate for?

This set is designed for preschoolers (ages 3-5) and up, making it perfect for grandchildren who are just learning to write or draw, all the way through older kids who can write full letters. The prompts and activities are engaging enough for any grandchild who wants to connect with their grandparent through the mail.


Is this a good Christmas gift for families?

Absolutely! This pen pal set makes an exceptional Christmas gift that keeps giving throughout the year. It encourages communication, creates keepsake memories, and provides an engaging activity that brings families closer together during the holiday season and beyond. Many customers have shared how excited kids get when they receive letters in the mail.


What makes this different from just regular stationery or cards?

Unlike standard stationery, this set is specifically designed with thoughtful prompts and activities that spark meaningful conversations between generations. The cheerful envelope illustrations, unique letterhead designs, and structured correspondence cards take the guesswork out of what to write, making it easy and fun for both grandparents and grandkids to create lasting keepsakes together.
