Pen pal for a 9 year old girl

[benbecca]

Hi Im not sure where I should be putting this, but this seemed as good a place as any.

My 9 year old daughter is looking for a pen pal (old fashioned kind where she can actually write letters). Can anyone suggest any good/safe places where she could look.

Thanks in advance

Try school? I had a French pen pal at that age, it was great, it was arranged through the school.

What a lovely idea, I hope she finds one!

My daughter had a couple of penpals at that age through Aquila magazine. You have to subscribe and it's not that cheap (thanks grandparents!) but they do a penpal page every now and then with kids age approx 7-14.

I had a pen friend that was the daughter of someone my mum communicated with in work she was in America ... how exciting! maybe through a relative or friend of friend you can find someone similar?

My daughter is 8 (and a half) and is growing up in Germany. I think it might be nice for her to have a penpal in Britain - have you already found someone or shall I ask her? She likes parties, reading, barn dancing, art and design and baking cakes. Big topics in her life are pros and cons of best friends vs groups of friends, why you can't just add 7+7+7+7+7 every time you need to know what 5 x 7 is.
