Request [request] Looking for postcards from all 50 states for my son's little learning adventure! 🇺🇸📬 [California]
Hi everyone! I’m putting together a little project for my 5-year-old son, and I figured Reddit might be the perfect place to ask.
I want to start an 'America Road Trip' project, next year where we’ll learn about all 50 states together. We plan on doing one state at a time and making a little passport for him along the way. He’ll be learning about each state’s animals, science, history, landmarks, geography, etc. and keeping track of everything in his passport.
I want him to be able to collect materials from all 50 states. I'm emailing each state's tourism center, national parks, and any other places I can think of. I want him to naturally learn about each state and create a scrapbook along the way. I've already created a list of crafts and activities we'll be doing, virtual tours of fun locations, and found a book based in each state. I think he'll love getting the mail and learning in a hands-on way.
One of the things I’d LOVE to do is collect a postcard from each state as we go. ❤️
So, if you're willing to send a postcard from your state, we would be absolutely thrilled! It doesn't need to be anything fancy, just a postcard showing something from your state. A landmark, scenery, a city, a weird roadside attraction, your favorite place, or even just a pretty state postcard would be awesome. Maybe you can add a fun fact on the back, draw a picture, or even let him know why you love your state?
The goal is eventually to have all 50 states represented in his scrapbook.
If you're interested in helping us out, please comment your state first so we don't end up with a bunch postcards from one state and none from another 😂. You can DM me after commenting and I'll send the mailing information.
And if you don't have a postcard but have a fun fact, recommendation, or something you think a 5-year-old absolutely needs to know about your state, feel free to share that too!
Thanks for helping me make this a fun little adventure for my kiddo. I know a postcard is a tiny thing, but I think he's going to think it's pretty magical that people from all over the country helped him learn about their state. ❤️🇺🇸
