As our family are becoming more accustomed to frequent travel, my oldest daughter, Bunny, is wanting to learn more and more about the World and about places we might potentially visit one day. The more she learns about other countries, the more she comes to us bursting with questions about places and geography. She’s even coming up with suggestions of places she wants to travel to and ideas for reviews. She’s only 7 years old and practically wants to be a travel blogger in her own right already!
I saw an advert on Facebook for Little Passports and thought it was a great idea. We decided to trial the first pack for Bunny.
It was exciting receiving a package which had flown airmail and seeing that it had come from the USA. When we opened it, at first I was surprised by how little was in it, but Bunny wasn’t at all. There were facts, an activity sheet, stickers, a letter from Little Passport characters Sam and Sofia, a “little passport” and large map of the World. It came in a lovely blue keepsake suitcase, which Bunny can use to store future items from Little Passports in. She really enjoyed looking at the things that came in the parcel and reading about another country. It prompted her to get on Google to learn more and having the map, means she can learn so much more about where places are and also about sizes and scales. Children often don’t grasp the concept of how big a country is, in relation to a county, a city or a village. Having a map is really helping Bunny put the world into context.
Little Passports come in three different packages – Early Explorers (ages 3-5), World edition (ages 5-10) and USA edition (ages 7-10). There are different price plans available, depending on whether you want a monthly subscription or a six or twelve month subscription and a new country is featured each month (or state if you are going for the USA edition). Prices start at $11.95 and although this is a US brand, they dispatch to the UK too.
I think it’s great that there’s an educational subscription box like this available for children. You hear about adult subscription boxes for food or crafts, but this is the first time I’ve seen a travel one and I love that it covers children through a variety of ages. Bunny really enjoyed having something different and wants to continue receiving them.
I have a 3 month subscription available for one lucky blog reader. Just follow the instructions on the rafflecopter to enter.
Love this giveaway!
My little boy would love to visit South America…we’ve just been reading out the South American rainforests and the different animals that live in the rainforest! Very interesting (Even Im learning a lot!!) lol
My daughter is interested in Canada, we have relations there, and she keeps asking about the bears!
My daughter is fascinated by Geography so I’m sure she’d be interested in any country. If I had to pick one though I would say probably somewhere exotic like India 🙂
Australia because hes always saying he wants to go there when hes older!
My daughter would most like to learn about Japan.
Any country with exotic animals.
This looks fab! Our little one is too young to understand it yet, but I’d love something like this when he’s a bit older.

What a lovely idea I think my son would like to learn about France more since we visit every year.

France – as I’ve been learning French for the past 3 years! Might try to teach him some lingo…!
Wow this looks like such a fabulous idea – I love it and think all of my children would too x
My son would love this – would be a great Easter holiday activity! Thanks for linking up with #TriedTested
I think my child might like learning about China.
France because we have been there
Looks like a great idea. We’d love to go to Japan as a family as I spent a year there and it would be great to take the kids back and show them about my life there! They’ve seen the pictures, but nothing like actually going somewhere to learn about it.
South Africa, as my husband and I are both originally from South Africa.
