Do you get a monthly box or two delivered to your house with all kinds of goodies. It sure looks like there are so many programs out there, it is hard to narrow them down to the one that would make us happy. But how about kids? I found plenty boxes for different ages from newborn to pre-teens. Crafts, baby toys, and science projects – it is all there. However, as I was going through all the options looking for something a bit different. Recently my 5-year-old daughter got her first piece of mail ever. It came from the Park District as a follow-up to the swimming class she took earlier and most importantly it had her name on it! A few weeks later she still wanted to have the envelope in her possession, and that gave me an idea: why wouldn’t she get her own mail. While browsing subscription boxes I was looking for something my 5-year-old could do on his own: she does plenty of crafts during the week, and she is not quite the age for science experiment just yet. What can I find that can be interesting for her and let her do some activities on her own?
That’s when I came across the Little Passports. The company was very generous enough to send my family an introductory package and let us take the Little Passport Subscription Program for a trial run.
Each month is an adventure and your child will have a chance to explore a different country and learn new things about it. My daughter just learned how to read, so she enjoyed solving the riddles, finding things on the map, and writing.
This first month of the subscription my daughter met two kids, Sam and Sofia, who travel the world riding the magic scooter. They are the main characters of the travel project and the letter sent with the package gives us an understanding how these two kids manage their international travel plans. With magic, of course! (Duh!!)
The first month’s Explorer Kit arrives with a suitcase and contains everything your child needs to get started a map, a passport, stickers, access to online games, and more.
The following packages should include fun souvenirs, letters, stickers, photos, activity sheets from different countries (based on the program description).
The Little Passports program comes in two editions USA version for older kids (7-12) and The World Edition for young kids (5-10) like my daughter.
I don’t know if the other boxes in this subscription will be as fun as the first one, but my daughter is definitely looking forward to the next country Sam and Sofia visit. My next question would be 3 month subscription, 6-months, 12-months or the monthly plan?
ahhhh! this is awesome. I want this for my kids! Do they ship to singapore?!
You should totally ask them
OK this is something I would have totally LOVED as a kid. What a great idea. – Katy
Ditto
that is awesome! My daughter would love this as she has taken a sudden interest in our globe and who lives in other countries
Who old is she?
That is such a great idea. We have so many passports!
Nice!
what a great way of entertaining the kids!
We thought it was pretty cool too
If your daughter is enjoying it and playing with it, I can’t imagine why you wouldn’t go monthly! So many children in the US are so ignorant about Geography. That aspect alone makes it worth it.
You are absolutely right – it looks like a no brainer
Aren’t Little Passport collections just great? I was so into geography as a child; I wish I’d had this subscription!
I actually wasn’t a fan of geography. I thought it was boring. This actually is much better way introducing kid to geography
This is such a cute idea. Maybe I’ll get this for my daughter’s birthday.
I thought it was a cool thing to try out
I love this idea! I totally understand why your daughter would love this subscription service. I bet she waits by the door next month when the box is supposed to arrive.
The time will show, but I really do hope she likes it
Wow! This is so cool! Anything that gives kids something to look forward to monthly is very cool!

Wow this is great
^^ I meant to add that this would be perfect for my niece. I’m going to have to suggest this to my sis.
This looks so cool!!!
What a great activity for the kids i love how they can look forward to the next box throughout the months
I haven’t seen this one yet, I love it! My son loves learning about other places. I’ll definitely check it out!
really a great idea and kids love to get their own mail/packages in the mail!
looks like a good combination of something fun and educational for your daughter to enjoy.
My kids don’t have passports yet – they haven’t gone overseas – but this is a great kit.
WOW that is awesome! My girls would love something like that. def looks entertaining for them
This is such a great idea! I think the girls would love this.
What an amazing idea! We have to have this!
This is so cute – what a great way for kids to learn about travel! jessicapeeling@yahoo.com
So awesome. We have a huge map of the world hanging on our wall, and a singing globe. Our kids love finding out about other countries!
it is a great idea to teach kids about different countries,,there is so much culture out there and to teach to children is wonderful
I like that the child can learn about other countries. Also, I like the idea of it coming quarterly.
My daughter is 4 years old but she’ll definitely have fun playing with this 🙂
