Captain Mail

Captain Mail sends young children a packet addressed to them by name. Each one contains a personalized letter, an illustrated learning adventure using content licensed from Encyclopedia Britannica, puzzles and activities, a collectible 3D paper craft to cut and build, a joke of the week, a character value called an attainable superpower, and ideas for family music and conversation.

Packets come monthly for $7.50 or every two weeks for $6.50 each (billed $13 a month). US shipping is free and international delivery is available wherever USPS delivers, from $1.50. The first packet ships within 5 to 7 business days, and plans can be paused, switched or cancelled anytime.

Designed for ages 4 to 9 as screen-free family time.
