How it works
Pick one pen pal and an age group
When you subscribe, choose from our two pen pals, Wendy or Wilde. Choose how long you want your subscription to last. Next, select for kids 3-5 or 5-8 years old.
Your envelope is posted monthly
Our pen pals send snail mail envelopes every second Wednesday of the month, chock-a-block with fun learning opportunities.
We provide a two-way pen pal service
Send us a reply and your child's snail mail pen pal will personally respond and answer your child’s questions.
Why our envelopes
Convenient
Your child's snail mail is delivered to their letterbox every month with the bits and bobs they need to complete their activities.
Personal
Our subscription service delivers personalised snail mail pen pal letters that connect with your child’s unique interests.
Educational
A monthly subscription helps kids to develop the future-focused skills of innovation, creativity and critical thinking.
Eco-friendly
Plastic-free and sent in paper packaging. Fictional pen pals Wendy and Wilde inspire kids to love and play in nature, and up-cycle things for craft.
Our Mission
To inspire kids to play and learn in a sustainable way and connect with the world around them

Love from our community
I worked in ECE for years and I think what you send out is just right! Love the literature component and as for crafts...you include inspiration and all of the components needed.
— Ruth Miller
I love that it’s all about reading and hands-on doing rather than tapping and looking at a computer screen.
— Jo
My daughter was so happy to get your mail (running up the driveway yelling, ‘There’s mail and it’s actually for me!’)
