I know what you’re thinking, who is Banjo Robinson? Well Banjo is a globetrotting feline who will write to your child(ren) twice a month about his latest adventures: where he has been, what he has seen and done. As well as where he hopes to go next.
In the first pack you will find a personalised letter from Banjo himself, personalised stickers, stamps, reply stationary, colouring in activities as well as a large and beautifully illustrated map of the world. My son absolutely loved his letter, he was amazed that Banjo knew his name, where he lives and even the street name. Together we read about Banjo and discussed what he had been doing and where he would be going next, My Son was so eager to write Banjo a letter with the paper and envelope provided that he sat down and got to it.
My Son is 5 (soon to be 6) and he is not the biggest fan of reading and writing- he would much rather be playing football. And he was engrossed with his letter which was roughly one and a half pages long.
With Banjo Robinson there are several different subscription options available:
12 months (24 Packs) £2.50 per pack- £59.99 billed annually
3 months (6 packs) £4.17 per pack- £24.99 billed quarterly
6 months (12 Packs) £3.33 per pack- £39.99 billed half yearly
Each pack is based on Banjo’s adventure in a different country which you can track using the map provided. As well as all of that excitement I can log in to my account and choose to personalise a “PS” from Banjo so if my son had done particularly well in something I could write that as a PS from Banjo for example “I was so pleased to hear how well you are doing with your swimming lessons” which adds that extra touch of magic and excitement.
I would recommend this subscription for children age 5 or older (I have a 4 year old daughter who was interested to see what the fuss was about, she wasn’t as amazed by it and wouldn’t yet to be able to fully read and write back). It’s a perfect alternative to “screen time” and as there is so much fun to be had my son will not even be aware that not only is he practicing his reading, writing and spelling but also his geography.
The subscriptions would make a lovely gift, especially for Christmas and birthdays when children receive so many toys that they soon tire of or break, (or is that just my two?) with this my son will have something exciting to look forward to every month.
