Embark on a Creative Journey

At Marjorie Cowley, we believe in nurturing a love for nature and literature from a young age. "Kids Write Back: Postcards to the Parks" is designed to let children explore the wonders of the great outdoors while engaging their creativity through postcard writing.

The Importance of Nature

Nature offers a wealth of inspiration and learning opportunities for children. By immersing themselves in natural surroundings, kids can develop a deeper appreciation for the environment, foster a sense of curiosity, and ignite their imagination.

The Power of Literature

Literature allows children to explore different worlds, empathize with characters, and gain valuable life lessons. By combining nature and literature, "Kids Write Back: Postcards to the Parks" provides a holistic learning experience that blends creativity, knowledge, and appreciation for the natural world.

What to Expect

Through our program, children will receive a set of carefully crafted postcards featuring enchanting illustrations of various national parks. Each postcard is inspired by a different theme, be it wildlife, landscapes, or historical landmarks.

Step 1: Choose a Park

Children can select their favorite national park from our extensive collection. Whether it's the grandeur of Yellowstone, the towering sequoias of Yosemite, or the vibrant diversity of the Everglades, there is a park to suit every child's imagination.

Step 2: Let Creativity Flow

Using their imagination, kids can write a personalized message to the park they have chosen. They can express their thoughts, share their favorite memories, or ask questions about the park's flora, fauna, or history.

Step 3: Mail the Postcard

Once their creative masterpiece is complete, children can address the postcard to the park's visitor center or ranger station. We encourage parents and guardians to guide their children through this process, showing them the joy of sending and receiving mail.
