The idea for the product came to Mike Russell as he was delivering his granddaughter to her home. Although they live nearby, he was thinking about how much he looked forward to writing to her when she was older, and realized that he need not wait until she could read and write before starting to share with her his life-long habit of corresponding with loved ones loved ones npl → seres mpl queridos loved ones npl → proches mpl et amis chers loved ones love npl . "I realized that if I mailed her a picture and asked her to color it and mail it back to me, and we got into the habit of regular correspondence, then she might develop the same feeling of anticipation that I get every time the mail carrier stops by," Russell explains. The more he thought about it, the more the idea developed. "I also wanted to teach her to save money, and soon saw a way to combine the two ideas into one activity. That's where COINcidentally, I Love You came into being," the educator says. Grandparents attach a few small coins to the first card, add a message, and mail the package to their grandchild. Children get a piggy bank, a rhyming book that explains the "game," and the first card in a series along with a matching card for coloring. The coins go into the piggy bank, and the matching card is colored and returned. Once grandma or grandpa receives the picture, they send another card ... with more coins. And by the time the complete set of a dozen cards has been sent back and forth, the two have developed a regular habit of corresponding. The product is now available online at: http://www.igrandparents.com. Additional Card Packs and Special Occasion Packs are to be available shortly. Produced by the Essential Learning Factory (ELF), COINcidentally, I Love You is one of the company's family of educational products. |
