The Travel Kit: KiwiBop Inspires Wanderlust and Learning with Their Cool Postcards

KiwiBop Postcard Pals (KiwiBop)

Postcards are a wonderful way to share a piece of your family vacation with your loved ones back home. They’re shorter than letters and do not require envelopes, making them convenient and easy, but they’re more thoughtful than a novelty keychain or magnet and they posses a certain romanticism that e-mails lack. Best of all, they carry attractive photos of dream destinations, bringing forth our inner travel bugs.

It’s on this traditional premise that Connecticut-based monthly subscription service KiwiBop Postcard Pals works, harnessing the magnetic draw of postcards and using them as tools not just to inspire young and future travelers to explore new worlds and cultures but also to teach them new and fascinating things beyond the confines and limitations of the classroom.

It’s a simple yet brilliant idea, especially these days of instant gratification when finishing an actual book is more of a tedious chore than an enjoying activity and scrolling through a BuzzFeed article is as much reading as we can get out of our kids.
