Little Passports is a monthly subscription box of hands-on activity kits. Lines include Early Explorers and Animals Wild for ages 3 and up, World Edition for geography and culture, Science Junior and Science Expeditions for STEM experiments, plus cooking and art kits. Each package brings a story or comic, activity booklet, project materials, stickers and souvenirs, so children build, experiment and read off-screen, often with a parent. It belongs to Begin, maker of HOMER and codeSpark.
Our take: A good gift or monthly ritual for curious kids who like making things; families on a tight budget can find similar projects for free.
