Little Passports Review

I wish I had this when I was a child! Little Passports is such a fun way for the kids to learn more about World Geography. Little Passports is a monthly subsciption service that introduces kids to a new country every month.

This was the very first shipment, which included everything to get started on the world journey... a nice map of the world, a passport to mark off which countries Sam and Sofia have visited, a photo of Sam and Sofia in their garage, a boarding pass which has a secret code you need to go online for more learning adventures, an activity sheet and a letter from Sam introducing himself and Sofia and letting your kids know they will be receiving more from their visits around the world.

Little Passports makes Geography exciting. Although, this is only the first shipment, the kids were so excited to receive a package in the mail from them and are looking foward to learning about traveling around the world.

After the first shipment, the remaining shipments will include little thumbtack stickers to place on the world map to show the country Sam and Sofia are visiting. Included will also be a glossy 4x6 photo that has to do with that particular country, souvenir(s), learning/activity page on that country, passport sticker of that country's flag to place in passport, boarding pass with a secret code to the Little Passports website for activities and games, a travel sticker to place on the luggage, and a nice letter from Sam and Sofia telling you about their visit in that particular country.

When the kids first opened the package, they loved the little blue suitcase! It's a nice size for their little hands and very easy to open and close.




They opened up the suitcase and were delighted.
Here's what was inside:


My favorite part is the map. The size is perfect, about 3 ft wide.

Little Passports has a variety of subscription offers and you can cancel anytime.
It's pretty affordable, even if you pay by month.

As a homeschooling parent, I find that Little Passports can be a great supplement to our Geography lessons. This is obviously not a complete geography lesson, but Sam and Sofia make it fun to explore the countries further.

I can't wait to try out the Little Passports USA Edition for 7-12 year olds! :)

Easy Push Pin Styrofoam Ball Ornament

We recently went to a friends school gathering where they had all of us decorate ornaments using sequin pins, sequins, ribbons, pipe cleaners and pom poms. We arrived a bit late and the only supplies left on my table were the sequins and push pins. So I got to work and came up with the following. Fairly simple to make. I imagine hot gluing the sequins on would be quicker. You can come up with different layouts and color combinations. I wanted to create a blue and silver combination, but there weren't enough colors, so I decided to just do a multi color one. We only had an hour to make the ornaments and the school was going to use our ornaments to decorate a tree at our local zoo. So I was short on time and took some photos of a few different combos I came up with. I will definitely be buying some styrofoam balls today! The rougher textured styrofoam balls almost have a blingy look to them which work well if you want to create a design on the ball and have some negati

Little Pretend Passports

Some deals are too good not to share... especially with those of you who have kids between the ages of 5-10. Every week, we spend some time reading a book in one of the FIAR volumes. Whether it's a US state or a different country, we use our pretend passports every week. We even use it along with Little Passports . They do have their own passport, which includes a new sticker stamp for the country of th at months shipment. However, Little Passports comes with only one passport and I have three kids that want their own passport. So I decided to make our own passports to use along with FIAR and Little Passports . For each country or state we "visit" in our FIAR studies, we stamp our passport. We glue down a flag of the country or state and a passport stamp with the date we traveled to that country. I highly recommend purchasing card stock for the cover Wausau Paper Index Card Stock Unfortunately my 2 year old got a hold of them and wrote all over them... so I w

Limbourg Brothers Book of Days Art Project

The kids and I try to include at least one art lesson a week. Some of our lessons require more than one day to complete. We plan on going to the Art Institute soon and my husband and I want the kids to be familiar with some of the paintings we might see. So we've been using the book Discovering Great Artists: Hands-On Art for Children in the Styles of the Great Masters . So far we love it, and it has so many hands-on activities to explore the styles and techniques of the world's greatest artists. They also break up the sections by style/date. This week, we learned about Early Renaissance painters, The Limbourg Brothers. If you're not familiar with the Limbourg Brothers, they are three artist brothers who painted very detailed paintings using thin paintbrushes and magnifying glasses. They created a book with a calendar and pictures of the seasons. The art activity we followed asked to create our own Book of Days. I created a template and had the kids pick a favo
