The Paper Mouse Letter Writing Challenge

Celebrate National Letter Writing Month with us! We’ve put together a series of challenge prompts to inspire you to write more snail mail this month. Dust off your favorite pens and paper, and join in the fun!

Here’s how the challenge works: 

Download our printable challenge list below, and complete all ten letter writing challenges during the month of April. Fill out the log with the names of your letter recipients as you go. (First names are just fine - we respect your privacy!)

At the end of the month, snap a picture of your log and send it to us at mousemail@thepapermouse.com. Everyone who sends us their log by April 30th will be entered to win a prize: a set of our brand new Paper Mouse letter writing paper and our new stamp stickers (both launching on April 7!). There will be five lucky winners in this challenge!

Join us in the letter writing challenge and spread the joy of snail mail!
