Giving the gift of Little Passports (and a review)

A few months ago, I received the discovery kit from Little Passports. It’s an introductory package for their subscription service. Basically, Little Passports takes your child on an adventure every month – either of two states or a country. The “suitcase” we received targeted the world, rather than the states.

It also had two stickers to decorate the suitcase with (new stickers are sent with the monthly packages) and a letter from Sofia, describing the beginnings of her adventure. Each month, your child will receive a package in the mail including a letter, fun and unique souvenirs, stickers, photos, access to online games/activities in our Boarding Zone and more! A total of 24 different adventures available. (The USA version is slightly different.)

As my boy grows older, I think he’ll have fun with the world edition. I’m definitely going to sign him up for the United States version once he’s old enough to understand a little bit more about our travels. We do drive through so many states and I think this would be a great learning opportunity – and a FUN one! He’s a little young for the kits right now, but I really think school-aged kids would love getting this kind of mail every month!

A few travel tips from Little Passports:

“Are we there yet?” was a term coined by the family road trip! While new technology and toys may have silenced backseat conversations, spending time together in the car can still be a great opportunity for family bonding and learning. Even if you plan on bringing the latest gadget to pass the time, try saving them for the end of your trip when everyone is tired and cranky!

Here are some ideas from Little Passports that are sure to make the time fly by (or at least go by a little faster):

  • Save your most recent Little Passports delivery from Sam and Sofia for your road trip so your kids to learn and explore during the car ride.
  • Say goodbye to your trusted GPS! Bring back the memory of car trips as a kid and use a map! The night before your trip bring out an actual map (if you can find one!) to show your intended route to your child. Even better, copy the map and pull out a highlighter so your child can follow along – and let you know when you missed a turn.
  • Build in time for pit stops – and if time allows, make short stops that incorporate fun activities along the way. Everyone will need a bathroom break and a meal, but if that happens at a place right off the highway and near playground it can be better for everyone! The kids will get fed – and burn off some energy.
  • Hit up a dollar store before you leave and stock up on small toys and activities to give to your kids along the way. Every hour let your child choose a surprise – a great incentive for good behavior! You can even wrap the toys for an added element of excitement.

If you don’t have children, or your kids are a little too young for Little Passports, you can always give a subscription as a gift. I like that they offer monthly plans, or you can purchase 3, 6 or 12 months. Definitely something for me (and you!) to consider.
