Description:

My son gets very excited about all the fun mail so I thought it would be a nice idea to make a swap just for our kids.

This will not be an expensive swap but please make an effort and try to make the parcel/envelope extra nice maybe by colouring or putting nice things on it. The parcel/envelope should be addressed directly to the child.

You will have one (1) partner in this swap and send a minimum of three (3) things to him/her for a total of 6 - 7 USD (not counting the stamps of course). The swap is international.

Please list your child´s name and things he/she would be happy to receive. It gets a bit tricky if a family has more than one child but if you want them all to get a parcel they can share the things I think. Would that be okay?

Since it´s a swap for kids I think it´s very, very important to be responsible and really send things. Please do not sign up if you can´t make it.

IMPORTANT: At least ten (10) snailmailswaps on your record, no no-sends ever and if you don´t have a straight 5 you must email me before signing up. E-swaps are fine but you can´t count them in here. If you do not have this by assignment day I will delete you from the swap and welcome you back another time.

I have seen some very strange ratings in otherwise perfect swappers so if you have been rated unfairly but want to participate just mail me :).

I will ban questionable swappers and since this is my first swap I will take as much help as necessary from the forum.

I will angel this swap but sincerly hope it won´t be necessary ;).

Please ask questions if something is not crystalclear and I hope this will be a fun swap for our kids!

My son´s name is Elliot and he´s 4 years old. I´ve listed his favourites on my profile so check there if you like. He likes Shaun the Sheep, small cars and bright, happy colours. He´s not into scary stuff or things like Spiderman and stuff like that. He also likes numbers and tries to write letters so the alphabet is a sure winner!

Hope you enjoy this swap and welcome!

My son is Stephen, and he has asked me if there is a site like this for teens! He is 15 and a freshman in high school. Stephen is on the autism spectrum and is very special - an honor student in a 'regular' school and a hard worker. He'd enoy simple stuff like travel size toiletries and collects small notebooks for his many, many lists. Also likes unique pens, pencils and all kinds of novels or historical books from thrift stores. He also uses old fashioned handkerchiefs (most autistics think Kleenex is too gross for words!) and collects recipes and fun cooking implements. Dollar store kitchen stuff is great, and his own chef's apron or potholders would make his day.

This is a really fun idea! My nearly 3 year old son is crazy for mail right now. He loves: robots, airplanes, spaceships/rocketships, cars of any size or type, trucks of every kind (dump, garbage, monster, etc.), Curious George, balls, WALL-E (the Disney movie), trains, Buzz Lightyear, snakes, sharks, dinosaurs.

I just want to note that I also have a 1-year-old who puts everything in his mouth, so if you could not put anything terribly tiny/choke-able in the package, I would be grateful!

Oh, and we are big on reusing/reducing, so if you'd like to send us your child's old matchbox cars or something, that would be fine!

I have two monkeys, but I think the oldest would enjoy this the most. Her name is Makena and she will be 4 in June. She loves sparkly stuff--jewelry, shoes, etc. She loves the princesses, Hello Kitty, Strawberry Shortcake, sea shells, bath goodies, beaded things, handmade stuff like purses...Please no candy. The Easter Bunny brought a ton! She's not picky and just loves mail. I feel so bad when I'm opening a package and she says, "is that for me?!" :(

principeta: You can always mail your partner (I know I will) and ask for more suggestions or if you´d want to know their favourite colours and so on. Hope that helps and welcome if you want to join! :)

My son is Shay, he is 15 and is adhd/Aspberger's =the latter on the autistic spectrum. He likes anything for art, and also cool (not necessarily expensive) jewelery. He loves to sew ninja type costumes so any material or baklava or whatever is great. He is not picky at all actually. He also reads like crazy and will pretty much read anything!

PLEASE, we are conservative, old fashioned parents and Christian so nothing video related. I mean, he has a gameboy but he can obsess if he gets too much onto any kind of media or video. I'm not as picky about books, He has read things from non fiction about Che Guevera, to Frank Peretti, to Stephen King.

I would especially like him to have a pal to exchange a note with as his printing leaves something to be desired. He has a fine motor skill issue, so it takes him a long time to write anything so he doesn't do it outside of school. I would like him to see the fun side of writing.

Okay, Hannah is 10. She is just getting into swapping, and pen palling. She always writes back, even if it takes a month or two ha ha. She loves Littlest pet shop and stickers, notebooks, glitter pens. This is one area where she isn't trying to be so different from what i do haha, so that is fun. She doesn't like ANYTHING little kid, so one has to be careful about that. Like no my little pony, for example, and nothing to girly because she is a tomboy. She does like nail polish, chap stick and bodyspray, even if she is a tomboy haha. NO HAIRSTUFF, she won't wear it.

Actually, compared to my son she is picky, but I want her to learn to not be so much so and to be thankful.!

Oh, and she likes to make and recieve ATC's too. She just started this.

My son Bakari is 4 and he loves trains, matchbox cars, funny monsters, not scary ones. He is now getting into Iron Man and Spider-man. He likes stickers, tub toys, coloring books, markers, a little candy or bubble gum is ok,. He is trying to read so beginning reader books are wonderful. He also has a collection of banks and love to put money in them, most are full so a new bank would nice too.

When partners are assigned if my partner could PM me and I will provide my home address to send the swap to. I currently receive swaps at work but want my son go to the mailbox and see a package with his name on it.

My son Is 12 and his name is Connor (he has his Dad's name so can you please address to Connor Cummings, he's not too impressed with my surname being used-you'll see why!LOL) His main interests are xbox and computers unfortunately:( but for the purpose of this swap, he likes to draw and design computer games. He loves tropical fish and has an aquarium, he likes to bake sometimes, he likes model airplanes (to make, WW1 and WW2 are his fave) Sorry if I'm going on a bit, I find him difficult to buy for, so trying to make it easy for you!!
