The Adventure Letters are more than just a letter!
The Adventure Letters are so much more than just a letter, though! We ordered the Sample Letter (just $6!), and it came with a double-sided letter describing Greyson and Sophia’s visit to Michigan.
In the letter, they described the Great Lakes, the Big Red Lighthouse in Holland, Michigan, Detroit, the Upper Peninsula, and Lansing. They described a playful dog and included several factoids. They also described a mother and daughter communicating in sign language, so included a page with the sign language alphabet.
Coloring Page
On the back of the page with the sign language alphabet is a map of that area of the US that’s perfect for kids to color.
The third full sheet of paper had a scrapbook page on one side and a Great Lakes map on the other.
There were so many more goodies! A postcard-sized sheet with a letter to the parent, explaining the mailing. On the back, a US map that kids can color as they learn about each state.
A couple of cards, several stickers, some fun paper Christmas glasses, and some confetti. Not enough to stress me out, though, and no glitter. Just enough to make it fun and special for the kids.
