Why Snail Mail?

Snail mail holds a unique charm and most importantly holds several advantages for us when connecting with grandkids!

01. Tangible Connection: Sending physical cards or letters creates a tangible connection that can be held, cherished, and revisited. It provides a personal touch.

02. Surprise and Excitement: Receiving mail is an event, especially for children. The element of surprise and excitement that comes with opening a physical letter or card enhances the overall experience.

03. Memory-Making Ritual: Engaging in the ritual of sending and receiving mail becomes a memorable and shared experience. It’s a tradition that can be passed down and remembered for years to come!

In addition, snail mail provides:

  • Hands-On Creativity: Grandparents and grandkids can engage in crafting, drawing, and personalizing their messages.
  • Offline Quality Time: Both the act of creating the message and the act of receiving it encourage moments of focused, quality time away from screens.
  • Building Anticipation: Waiting for a letter in the mail builds anticipation and excitement, fostering a sense of connection over time.
