Monthly letters in the mail for kids to explore their world
A monthly rotation through animals, plants, small creatures, and the earth and sky, from Bernie: a young naturalist who travels with her family, spends a lot of time outside, and loves sharing what she learns with her friends. Made for kids ages 3 to 12.
What’s included
- A letter from Bernie telling about her adventure and one thing she learned that month
- Her field note
- A Discovery card that shares fun facts about the month’s focus
- Another card that shows the life cycle or system of the focus
- 3 activity sheets:
- One for ages 3–6
- One for ages 6–9
- One for ages 9–12
Everything is hand drawn and written by Bernie and her mother, who helps her put together everything besides her field note and letter. (Bernie is still learning to type.)
Join Bernie on her journey
How it works
- Choose your subscription. Pick yearly or monthly, or send a subscription as a gift to a friend or family member. Choose how many kids it’s for and list their names, so each child gets a personal letter just for them.
- Get your first letter. Your first letter is sent within 3–5 days of ordering. After that, letters go out on the 1st of every month and should be in your mailbox by the 15th.
- Sign up for emails to get updates on what’s coming next.
- Learn and investigate. Read through Bernie’s adventure and learn about the feature of the month, with an activity page for kids ages 3 to 12.
- Share your own discoveries. Your child can send in their own field notes and drawings of what they’ve found. Your child’s work may be featured, connecting them with kids from all over.
About the author
I’m a homeschooling mom of five, ages 3 to 11. I manage RA while teaching my kids how to ask questions, not be afraid of making mistakes, and learn how to learn, even as adults, so they keep learning and growing long after they leave my house.
I’m currently writing a chapter book about history, as well as young reader books that focus on speech sounds. Writing lets me bring in income while staying home with my kids and managing my RA, which limits what I’m able to do. I use CorelDRAW and Krita to create the monthly packets.
