PenPal Notes
Going back to school can elicit a multitude of feelings in children. Some are nervous, some are excited, some are a combination of every possible reaction. One thing is for sure, elementary aged children love taking lunch in their new lunch boxes and they adore getting notes from mom.
PenPal Notes has incorporated a very fun idea into an educational experience for your child. I actually chose to receive the Proverbs set because I wanted to add a little more scripture to the middle of their day, and I love it! These notes are the size of a postcard and will slip easily into your child’s lunch bag or box. You simply add the child’s name in the appropriate place and the note is ready to go.
Your child (or children) will enjoy following Tej a cute panda bear and the main character for all of the PenPals sets. There are some great subjects currently available…
- Discover Africa
- Dinosaur Days
- Traveling Taste Buds
- Meet the US Presidents
- Tej and the Big Cats
- Proverbs
- Amazing Animal Facts
They have a few more subjects coming soon…Famous Artists and Great Women of the Past. These notes are such a fun little pick-me-up for kids. If you want to add a personal note to your child, there’s plenty of room for that as well.
You can even bring the educational facts to the dinner table with their fantastic themed PenMats. These mats can be used with any washable marker and they perfectly compliment the PenPal notes! You can even check out their blog here.

The animal or proverbs cards look like a lot of fun. I think that it would be fun to stick these in anyone’s lunch box, not just kids.

My kids would love the traveling taste buds set. Lately they have been very interested in what kids in other countries eat so this would be perfect for them!

nice stuff. i was looking for some lunch ideas myself. i would not have thought about the proverb series but took a look and i really like it. frankly too many people unnecessarily shun wisdom from religious text, be it Gita, Old Testament, etc. i am a Hindu, but will be purchasing this series because it seems to be well written and it would be good for my 11yr old daugter. i love the way the tej character’s journey starts and the PS idea is a very good idea because a lot of time kids read a lot of material but dont “get it”. it is good to have something that helps them synthesize the info.
good job

They are all wonderful notes in their own right. My favorite are the Amazing Animal Facts Notes.
Many thanks, Cindi

Amazing Animal Facts are the ones my kids would like but I would be tempted to buy the new artists one.
