Go Around the World with Little Passports
The First Month Explorer kit rocks, especially the map! We have atlases and travel books in our library, but this is the first foldout map that the kids have owned. I'm kicking myself -- putting a map up on the wall really should have been the first step, and I'm grateful to Little Passports for including it.

I can tell you that curiosity begins the moment a child is born. The more you feed and nurture that curious nature, the better. So when I stumbled upon Little Passports, I knew it was a match made in wanderlust heaven.

So imagine my kids' delight when they saw that our most recent package was addressed to them. And better yet, it was full of lots of small treasures for them from Little Passports.

Little Passports: Brazil!
Last month we guessed that Sam and Sophie would be visiting Brazil next. And we were right! We grabbed our suitcase and headed to our playroom, where we'd hung the world map that came in the first package. Sam used his mad geography skills to locate Brazil on the map.

Clover was engrossed in the map, looking up where she was and where she's been, also asking me to point out some of the farther off countries I've visited.

Ugga Mugga Little Passports
I've said it before and I'll say it again...the world is becoming smaller and smaller each day. We're more aware of things happening around the globe and we're making contact with associates and creating friendships with people in other countries thanks to blogs, Twitter and other online resources. So it's a good idea to get our children globe-trotting sooner rather than later.

Little Passports is a fun way to keep your kids busy and teach them about the world beyond your backyard! My boys can't get enough if this!

It's not a one time toy!

Parent Reviews

         

We got our Japan packet today and it has definitely been the favorite! My son could tell immediately from the package that it was from "Little Passports." All the "toys" were a big hit and he likes the origami the best — he's already made the plane and the dog! So I had to tell you how much we've enjoyed this mailing!
Milli, mother of 6-year-old son

 

The world map was a fantastic surprise. My daughter refers to it often throughout the day, and it has led to interesting discussions about the world and different cultures.
Nicki, mother of 10-year-old daughter

 
 

My daughter LOVED the music. She was also thrilled to get the "jewels" as she calls it.
Danielle, mother of 7-year-old daughter

   

We loved the personal letter. It was easy to read and interesting and intriguing for the kids.
Alisa, mother of 8-year-old daughter

 

The CD is fantastic!!! This month's letter is terrific as well! Our social studies curriculum covers each of the 7 continents and thus far the Little Passports materials seem like a terrific match for my classroom instruction!
Amy, mother or 9-year-old son & 1st grade teacher

 

The Amethyst rock was a big hit as was the letter ...oh the CD was great! When we finished our subscription and a couple of months had passed, my son asked me why he wasn't getting the mailings anymore!
Jenifer, mother of 7-year-old son

 
 

My son immediately rips open the Little Passports packages when they arrive in the mail. Maps, toys, the letter tumble onto the table, and he excitedly sorts through his treasures while I read the letter with him. He wants to know what the characters are going to do next, and I'm happy to say that Little Passports always comes through with fun and heart-warming vignettes. As we try to reduce the "stuff" in our lives, I think sending our friends around the world with Little Passports is going to be a winner on our holiday gift list this year.
Lori, mother of 7-year-old son

   

We really like the letter - the children could relate to the characters. We like the map for it helped them to visualize where the countries were located in the world and at the same time it opened up other conversations about other countries or surrounding countries. We love the interactive toys and crafts that came with each package. My daughter says it's like she visited Brazil and brought it home.
Vivian, mother of 7-year-old son and 9-year-old daughter

 

I like the educational value and the fun souvenirs from Japan that made the place more "real".
Mother of 6-year-old son
