Postcards

[Guest]

We're doing a seaside topic next term and I'm trying to buy some postcards with pictures of the seaside on them for use in my class. The problem is I can't seem to find anywhere I can buy them in bulk. Obviously they would be available in shops at a seaside resort but the cost would soon add up if I bought a bulk amount. I know it's a long shot but does anyone have any suggestions as to where I might be able to get some? Thanks.

Well you could ask parents for any they may have - some people do not throw out postcards that quickly, but it must be said that my family tend to text me from wherever they maybe these days rather than send a postcard.

 

How about plain postcards from a stationers and add pictures to the front from travel agents' brochures or print directly onto A4 pieces of card some pictures of seaside and then cut into postcard size.

I was just about to suggest the same Panders - travel brochures and blank card (don't even have to be postcards) could use A4 like Panders suggests. If the children could choose their picture to cut out the brochure they may be inspired to write their own

You could try one of the manufacturers - Salmon postcards for example - google you will find their phone number - I wonder if they might help you? Well if you don't ask you don't get! :1b

The other option might be to contact a tourist information office in a seaside town and see if hey could sell you a job lot and post them in a box to you. I know our local tourist info office has postcards for sale - sadly I don't live by the sea though.

vista print are doing 100 for £6 at the mo , you can choose design , although i must agree i think the idea of using plain ones and get children to use travel mags etc is a much better option to develop cll, cd
