Summer vacation is nearly half way over for my 7-year-old (how the heck did that happen?) and we've already entered the "I'm bored phase." Our summer trip to St. Augustine, Florida, is but a memory now and the sand is no longer a familiar gritty sight on our flip flops. What's a kid with wander lust to do when her parents run out of ideas?

Little Passports is a unique monthly subscription service for kids that teaches about the joy of travel, not to mention geography about this big wide wonderful world we live in. The first month's explorer's kit which comes in a cute, brightly colored small, but sturdy, cardboard suitcase. If your child is hankering for something a little more exotic than their back yard or the neighborhood swimming pool, they can travel along with Little Passports characters, Sofia and Sam, each month. Your child will receive a personalized package via postal mail that includes an adventure letter, souvenirs, activities, and access to the Little Passports Boarding Zone which features fun games and activities.

A subscription to Little Passports is only $10.95 a month, but opens up a whole world of adventures for your child.
