ZR> My son isn't old enough for this activity, but I think
 My almost five year old daughter is just starting with a penpal.  We've 
access
 to INTERNET so we're doing it that way.  Maybe using the post office
 occasionally for holidays and the odd drawing.  She can't spell what she
 wants to say yet, but I'll be doing that for awhile.  Right now she thinks
 of the things she wants to say and will eventually start reading and
 writing the short notes herself.  I will enjoy watching the evolving that
 goes with this project.
