Description:
My daughter Emily came up with the idea for this swap. This swap is for handmade postcards, nothing store bought! They can be made from cardstock or cereal boxes. One side of the postcard should be a collage created by your child. Let them have fun and use their imagination! The basics: You will mail the actual postcards that your child creates You can write a message to your swap partner on the blank side of the postcard You will have 2 partners & mail them each 1 postcard I will be checking profiles to make sure that only serious swappers sign up for this. Nothing is worse then getting flaked on a swap, especially when a child is the recipient. To sign up, you must have a rating of 4.8 or higher and have participated in at least 10 swaps. This swap is for kids ages 5 and up! Please get in touch with any questions :)

Will the postcard be sent naked or in an envelope?

That was going to be my question too. :)

And can I let my 6 yo DD make one card and my 9 yo DS the other for the other partner?

Spin - The postcard will be sent :)

Marliese - Yes! That would be fine. I have two daughters, ages 8 and 5 so we will be doing the same thing :)

I do not meet the requirement of 10 swaps completed, but my 6yrs old daughter would love to join in this one, my current swaps wont be completed untill the last day to signup here, may I join in yet ? We are French, and my daughter is really interested in offering her handmade things =) I promise we are serious. thanks in advance !
