How to do it

Help them write a real letter — three things they want grandma or grandpa to know about their week. Draw a picture if they're young. Show them how an address is structured (name, street, city, state, zip). Stamp it. Walk to a real blue mailbox together. Two weeks later, when the reply comes, it lands harder than any text ever could.
