Little Passports Inspired Our Family to Take a Trip!

Mom’s Lifesavers was given the opportunity to try one month of Little Passports. The opinions expressed are our own.

Little Passports offers two editions, the United States of America (recommended for ages 7-12)  and a World Edition (recommended for ages 5-10) both of which are available as monthly gift subscriptions in a variety of month (12, 6 and 3 month) subscriptions.

TIP – Be sure to check out the savings code at the end of this post and save 40% on your first month of a monthly subscription to Little Passports.

Our family chose the USA edition because our 2nd grader had just finished a year end school project on Oregon and had a new found interest in the United States.

We were thrilled that she was so interested in learning more and welcomed the opportunity to review Little Passports.

Little Passports Arrives

The Little Passports package arrived in a ‘special delivery’ box – our daughter couldn’t wait to open it! Each USA Edition package arrives with 2 states featured and the first package arrives with a ‘starter’ kit that includes:

• Full Color Fold Out Map
• United States Field Guide
• USA Scratch Book
• Disposable Camera
• Durable, Snap Closure, Carry Case

We couldn’t wait to get started! The first two states in our kit were Maine and Oklahoma.

Little Passports Inspires Our Family to Take a Trip

It didn’t take long for our daughter to make the connection on the Little Passport’s map that we live in New England and not far from Maine. So we packed up the car for a field trip and headed North!

The Little Passports USA Edition featured stickers (gotta love stickers) that fit into the field guide perfectly introducing even the youngest readers to the state flag, animal, flower, bird and state seal.

The travel adventure guide was perfect for reading together and learning to draw a moose, tie a bow line and clove hitch (there was a section on sailing in Camden Harbor), visiting the art trail of Portland, and even a recipe to make our very own lobster roll!

The best part of Little Passports was learning together and seeing the true excitement in our daughter in getting her very own mail that included a real life adventure that she could lead herself on.

She is already looking forward to the next kit and so are we!

A Taste of Little Passports

Check out these great tidbits from Little Passports

From California to New York, and Japan to Ireland, Sam and Sofia have been all over the world exploring and learning about new places and cultures. Some of their most memorable trips include trying new foods and celebrating cultural events.  Did you know…

• Washington: There are five major volcanoes in the state of Washington. Mount Baker, Glacier Peak, Mount Rainier, Mount St. Helens, and Mount Adams are all considered active volcanoes, meaning they could erupt at any time!

•  Mississippi: Mississippi is known for its eclectic food. Fried pickles, fried catfish, dirty rice, and Mississippi mud pie are just some of the strange sounding but delicious tasting foods that the state is famous for!

•  India: Cricket, India’s favorite sport, is a bat-and-ball game that requires players to bat, score runs, hit sticks called “wickets,” and get the opposing player out. The teams take turns called “innings,” but cricket games have been known to go on for days! In India, Sam and Sofia met kids who love to play cricket in the street, the park, the beach, or the school playground!

• Brazil: Every February, Brazil celebrates Carnaval, an annual springtime festival where people wear creative costumes. Children usually wear colorful clothing and extravagant masks covered with colorful feathers. Sam and Sofia celebrated Carnaval in Brazil with decorated costumes and samba dancing!
