I was thinking of some fun things for our children to do at Kindy . I thought it would be wonderful to get in touch with another childcare centre overseas ( NZ , Japan , USA ) and become pen pals .

The children could send photos ( with parents consent ) , craft , drawings etc and the other school would do the same .

They could even send little videos over email singing typcail Aussie songs to teach the children , send recipies to make there ( lamingtons etc ) ..

It could be a monthly thing and we could exchange ideas and get an idea what other kindys do across the world.

I think that is a wonderful idea..our kids could learn so much and children in other countried could too.
Id say go for it if u can...so old school penfriends, but is so cool and with email and being able to easily & quickly make vids etc communication can be quick and easy .... so no waiting weeks for a letter to come :o)
Let us know how it goes... will be very interested to hear feedback from parents & children etc
