Doodlestix Launches!

October 10, 2008

After more than two years in the planning and multiple market research surveys involving more than 400 parents in the US, Doodlestix, the first character-based, pen-pal service for children, launched on October 10, 2008.  Doodlestix is a fictitious child who writes pen-pal letters to children teaching basic character traits and providing relevant practical examples of doing what’s right.  The novel web-based platform for Doodlestix allows parents to customize their child’s letters, so that Doodlestix can mention things specific to each child, such as their pet, or favorite sport or TV program.  Parents can also select the frequency at which their child receives letters from Doodlestix in either an electronic or paper mail format.

The author of Doodlestix is a graduate of the Institute of Children’s Literature and has many years of experience in raising and teaching kids about good character.  Doodlestix is written in a gender-neutral manner and is appropriate for both boys and girls.  Also, while Doodlestix teaches basic moral and ethical principles, it does not present any one particular religious viewpoint and is appropriate for children of all faiths or no faith.  Doodlestix is based in Cary, NC, a suburb of Raleigh.
