Make a pen pal kit to keep in touch with friends over the summer! A small tote filled with paper, envelopes, pens, pencils, and other fun writing accessories! Don’t forget your address!

The girls and I went to the store to pick up diapers and water bottles one afternoon and came out with everything we’d need to make everyone a pen pal kit. Ha! That happens to everyone, right? With being in the military, and having friends in the military, we are all too familiar with “good byes”. We decided to put together pen pal kits for themselves and their friends before we move to Virginia.
Pen Pal Kits
Stationary and Supplies
They picked out envelopes, cards, pens, pencils, erasers, crayons, glitter glue and stickers for their best friend, and extras for themselves. After all, they needed a kit too. It was fun to see how excited they were to pick out just the right stickers that they thought their friends would love.
I also told them that they could pick out a chapstick and a treat because—girls. These are just things that all girls like.
Here’s another cute pen pal idea!
Welcome! I'm Brandy, mother to 5 darling kiddos and a cute black lab named Toby. My husband is in the Coast Guard so we've lived all over the place, turning each house into a home. I love baking, sewing, making cute things with my kids, and sharing what I've learned with all of you!

I have such fond memories of writing my pen pal (my best childhood friend) in high school and still have all our old letters… I just love this fun keepsake idea! Thanks for sharing!
