With National Letter Writing Month just around the corner this week, it’s time to get your children excited for sending a note to a friend or family member that doesn’t come from a text packed with emojis. Taking the time to sit down and write a note helps us practice our penmanship, relax a bit and create a small gift that shows just how much we care for someone. This week’s roundup has ideas to get your child’s stash of writing supplies in DIY order right before April begins.
