    this is a brilliant idea. I really would like to send some emails but I'm really struggling to think about what to write! can anyone give me an idea of the kind of things you might write to a 7 year old?

    hiya, im not sure why thats happening, is it when you submit the form via the contact us form, as the addy on the kids pages should open up in your normal email brouser, the addy is [EMAIL="palemail@postpals.co.uk"]palemail@postpals.co.uk[/EMAIL] our volunteer Kate then moderates and forwards them on

    thanks for emailing :)

    Hiya, on each child's page is their interests which can make it a bit easier, often i talk about what is on the front of the card im writing, sometimes i write about what my neighbours dog has been up to (and make a bit up!), other times i write out a poem or joke (i find them by googling "kids jokes" or "kids poems". You could also tell them about yourself and your life, the kids love hearing about nearly anything!

    Hello,
    Just wanted to say what a fantastic idea this is,:T and will be making cards tosend to a few of them (wish I had time to send to all of them). I too though am struggling with what to put?! Can someone give me some ideas please? I like the thought of them coming from teddies etc, (or maybe in my case one of my 11 rabbits which are currently running riot in my garden!) but not sure how to go about it. Please help me I want to brighten some days!
    Either idea is great but i love the idea of the bunnies writing :) One of our most popular writers is a poodle called percy! :)



    Thank you everyone :)
