There comes a time in every child’s life where they get a pen pal. Generally this happens sometime in the elementary school years, and whether your child is writing to a kid in Paris or a student down the hall, you don’t want their letters to look just like everyone else’s. What you should probably do is use your inkjet printer to create stationery! To look at the history of stationery, check out Wikipedia.

Finding stationery this day and age is hard work. Hardly any stores have a section dedicated just for stationary and most book stores don’t carry it anymore. If you try going to a fabric or craft store it is hit or miss—sometimes you can find a sheet and sometimes you can’t. If you are lucky enough to stumble over some stationery, you probably have one page to choose from. If you create stationary on your computer and print it out though, you can have whatever you want.

There are multiple types of stationery on many different word processing programs, but if you go on the web, you can probably find stationary print out downloads for whatever you want. Maybe your daughter loves poodles? If so, why not print out stationery with many different types of poodles on it? Or maybe your daughter’s pen pal is a third grade soccer player in Mexico. You could design the stationery to be more to his liking than hers. You could even make stationery with his favorite team on it! Sometimes adding borders is fun too. In this particular instance you could add soccer balls around the border!

Just because stationery is a great project for the kids, doesn’t mean you can’t find your own use for it. If you send out letters of any kind you can design your own stationery tailored to your needs.
