Just around Christmas time The Little Passports suitcase landed on our doorsteps. Addressed to my daughter it was an instant hit, because it’s not every day a 5-year-old in my house gets mail. I am sure you are familiar with different subscription services including a whole bunch for the kids. When I researched monthly boxes, I wanted to stay away from the ones with arts and craft. I know a big number of my readers look for crafts to do with kids, however, my kids go to a very crafty pre-school and my shelves are full of amazing artwork already. I was looking for something different – educational and fun and here comes my little passports review.
Each month is an adventure with the Little Passports 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. The characters of Little Passports, Sam and Sophia, travel the world and share their stories through care packages. 
This month our friends from Little Passports sent us an envelope from Brazil. A page long letter told us what the kids found interesting in Brazil, what they thought of the country and who/what they met on the way. We loved the story of Sam and Sophia helping to rescue a monkey. 
Another activity sheet that requires a map – I was very surprised to see how fast my V found cities on the map (I have to admit, geography was not my thing in school). My daughter probably wouldn’t be able to solve the task on her own, but I was there to show off my smarts (and ability to read upside down). 
As before this month package came with stickers, suitcase tags, pin for the map, sticker for the passport, and a little souvenir – a stone. When I asked my daughter what she liked best about this month package, she favored the games with a map over anything. I think this is a very creative way to get kids interested in geography, especially considering that I couldn’t even concentrate looking at the map back in school.

This is a brilliant idea. My daughter would totally love this!
Oh wow what a cool idea! I think my son would like this too when he’s a bit older.
I really have to get this program for my kids. I just keep forgetting to sign up. What a great way to have you kids learn about the world.
What a fun activity for kids!
That is such a fun activity for little kids! I love it! My boys would have a blast learning about different locations around the world. They are really into that stuff.
I would have loved that as a kid!!! My grandmother was from Australia and my grandfather was stationed in the Phillippines in the war and we loved talking about different countries.
On a side note – I think you and I have the exact same area rug. I have one that looks just like that {from what I can see} in my office. 🙂

We love little passports, it’s so exciting for the whole family to go on a mini journey!
We love little passports!! They are so neat!
What an awesome idea and learning tool! The kids get mail, which is exciting by itself. The packages sound like they keep their interest and teach at the same time! Great post!
These are so super cute! I love the fact that this isn’t just a straight out toy, but educational and interesting
I have never heard of these, but the look amazing. My kids love studying the world and different cultures! Thanks for sharing.
wow, this looks like a neat idea!!

Don’t you just love Little Passports? My daughter absolutely loves them, too.
I really love this idea! It’s a great way to make education fun. I also shy away from the craft subscriptions, I feel like they get a lot of that already.
What an amazing idea. I love that little passport book. Wish I had something like this when I was little. The only thing I had was a passport book to all the National Parks.
This is one monthly gift my grandchildren might enjoy. Our family also has pretty much reached the limit of wall space for crafts and such.
This is the coolest thing. I would have loved to have something like this when I was younger.
great way to learn about different countries – so much fun, too.
I swear I learn something every day
I LOVE this! The arts and crafts ones are fun (my son really likes them), but they get pretty mundane. This is so unique!
I am with you on the crafts and this one is certainly pretty interesting
I totally LOVE this idea! My four year old would adore Little Passports!
That is such a cute idea, love it!
This is such a cool little kit! I think it’s a great way to help kids learn about other countries. I want my son to know as much about the world as possible, even if I can’t take him all over it.
