Geekling got given a felt world map for Christmas the year before last. I had also collected a number of cultural exchange packages from penpals around the world and put them aside until he was of an age that he was interested.
I remembered them a couple of weeks ago while Geekling was home sick and I was racking my brain for things to do. I hung his map on the blank wall by his bed and we opened our first exchange package - it was from Germany!
Waiting patiently to open it!
Look at what I got!
What a pack it was! It included a lovely letter from a family in Germany, a map showing where Germany was in Europe which helped Geekling to find it on his map, postcards, a flag to colour in, some tourism fliers, a puzzle, stickers, Euro coins, a miniature flag, foam soccer ball shapes and soccer ball balloons, german flag bandaid and some chocolates.
Geekling was super excited about the chocolates. He was also fascinated by the coins and really enjoyed colouring the flag by reference to the miniature flag. He also loved the balloons.
As luck would have it, days later we met a young German lady on the train! Geekling proudly told her he had learned about Germany, knew their flag colours and liked German chocolate.
