Even in the digital age, is there anything more exciting for a child than a package arriving in the mail? And if that package is from an exotic, far-off country, all the better! The creators of Little Passports use a combination of real, tangible items and interactive online games that are guaranteed to get kids excited to learn about our neighbors around the globe.
As a Little Passports member, your child will receive a package every month from “Sam” and “Sofia”, their traveling friends. Each package will include a personalized letter describing their current location, as well as local souvenirs and fun activities. And the fun doesn’t stop there! Also included is a collectible boarding pass with a secret access code, which kids can use to log into a “Boarding Zone” online with lots of country-specific games.
For their first year with Little Passports, Sam and Sofia will guide children through countries like Japan, Brazil, Mexico, China, France, Australia, Egypt and South Africa.
The founders of Little Passports are determined to help the next generation of Americans become more globally aware.
In addition, the company proudly donates 1% of its sales to non-profits working to improve the conditions of children around the world such as SOS Children’s Villages – USA and Ubuntu Education Fund.
Price: $10.95/month

I find that adorable. What a great way for small children to start learning about other cultures. I do remember being young and how getting ANYTHING in the mail with your name on it was seriously exciting!

What a neat idea! All kids are curious by nature so I’m sure this is one of those things that every kid would love! I wish I’d had one when I was little!

What a fabulous gift for any child. Educating children about the world & it’s people is the greatest way to promote peace on earth.

I have read about this Little Passports children’s magazine extensively and my husband and I have decided to purchase a subscription for our 8 year old grandson for Christmas. I cannot tell you the number of times I have gone on their website and the difficulty I am having placing the order. I can’t e-mail, a message comes up that it can’t be done at this time. I’ve tried e-mailing from their pages and also from my own e-mail account but the result is the same. Not possible. If anyone of any knowledge of the proper procedure to use reads this, I would love a reply and suggestion. This experience has been most frustrating as we are excited about this choice of gift. We know he would enjoy it!!! HELP!
