What is Little Passports?
Little Passports is a monthly subscription box that is your childโs โticketโ to the world. It is a great way to teach your kids about other countries (or states), what makes that countryย a special place, learn more about the language used there and other uniqueย facts. When I was living in South Africa I would constantly read about everyoneโs adventures through the program and I was so disappointed that we couldnโt join in. When we moved back to America Little Passports was one of my first stops.
Little Passports has three subscription boxes:
- Early Explorers (aimed at Preschool kids ages 3-5)
- World Editionย (aimed at 6-10 year olds)
- USA Edition (aimed at 7-10 year olds)
Little Passports agreed to send us their Traveler Kit plus two months of their World Edition Subscription Box in exchange for an honest review.
The Traveler Kit
I chose not to tell my kids about our subscription to Little Passports because I knew that they wouldnโt be able to wait for it to arrive. When it arrived in the mail my kids were SO excited to seeย what this adventure would hold for us.
Our first month came with theย following items:
- A letter from our new pen pals Sam and Sofia.
- Our blue suitcase.
- A passport.
- Stickers, a photo of Sam and Sofia, and an activity sheet.
- A beautiful wall world map that I can see us getting many years of use out of.
Since we would be sharing a subscription set for two kids we would use this time to teach the kids how fun it could be to work together. We read the letter together (both kids taking a turn) and discussed everything together. However, I made a copy of the activity sheet so that both kids could work independently on this.
At this point, my kids were so excited to start Little Passports that it was a bit disappointingย thatย they had to wait for a few more weeks for us to go on our first country visit. If you are reading this Little Passports, we hope that in the future Little Passports would consider sending their first country visit together with their Traveler Kit.
First country visit: Brazil
My kids were ecstatic when they saw the envelope outside our frontย door with our first months items.
ย
I wonโt lie,ย atย first sight (before I opened everything up) I was a little underwhelmed. But once we delved into it I was so surprised at all the small things that were included.
What was included in our Brazil country visit:
- Brazil activity sheet. (This is where we learned a bit about the Portuguese language through the word search and unscramble activity.)
- Brazil sticker
- Brazil boarding pass
- Letter from Sam and Sofia telling us all about Brazil.
- A beautiful Amethyst that โcame fromโ a mine in Brazil.
- A picture of an Uakari Monkey (a special animal found in the Amazonian Rainforest.)
- A recipe for Brigadeiro (a yummy Brazilian chocolate treat)
First my eldest two (ages 9 and 6)ย read a page from our letter from Sam and Sofia.
Then they pointed out to where Brazil is located on our Little Passports map.
Then all three of them(2, 6ย and 9 year old) explored the Amethyst (they loved this).
How cute are my two year old hands??
The picture above is why we do what we do. This is why I blog, do activities with them and this is why we are enjoying sharing a subscription to Little Passports. It is for moments like these when I see my children working together and bonding with each other. ย (Notice my two-year old wrapped around her brothers back.)
The recipe for Brigadeiro chocolate was included and since I was lucky enough to have all the ingredients on hand at home we immediately set out to make it.
They were super delicious andย a wonderful conclusion to our day filled with the most wonderful exploration of Brazil.
Cost?
At the time of this box review the World Edition varies from $11.95 to $13.95 a month depending on the subscription option you choose.

We just got this for our son! He received his first country visit yesterday and we haven’t had a chance to check it out yet. I love this idea and offering our kids a chance to explore the world. Thanks for sharing!
