We love Banjo Robinson here- normally give it 5 stars, but France’s sticker was too big for the space on the map, and my little guy was a bit bummed about that. He has autism, and fixated on needing t... See more

We love this!
My son Loves Banjo and can't wait to see what he has been up to next on his adventures. He especially loved the map and sticking the stickers onto it. Overall this is a great subscription it has lots to keep children entertained including a letter from Banjo which children can reply to (hid under sofa), colouring and recipes. It is also great value for money.
Our children love getting these letters through!
We weren't sure quite what to expect, but our children love getting these letters through!
We have a 5 and an 8 year old who get very excited when Banjo gets in touch. They even decorated some cakes with Banjo and Kai made from icing.
Fantastic learning experience
Fantastic learning experience. My daughter looks forward to receiving her letters each month to know where Banjo is. She pinpoints his whereabouts on her globe and loves reading about the culture of the countries he visits. Banjo is a winner in our house it's fun and educational and my daughter's geography knowledge has come on leaps and bounds!!
My daughter loves Banjo
She is so excited when she receives Banjo's letter. She also loves the colourful stickers and world map.
Brilliant product
Brilliant product. My kids loved the free trial, especially the map with facts.
Their customer service was extremely patient and helpful too x
My god daughter loved the Map…
My god daughter loved the Map and learnt all the countries and seas and she isn't 5 til January! She loves getting the replies via cat mail from banjo (me) and is learning so much about different cultures and places. It's great.
Its absolutely wonderful
Great packs
The letters are clear, well- written, and easy enough for a6 year old to read by herself. She Loves the activities that come with it, and she loves getting an envelope, and a drawing paper to write a reply.
My only criticism is that there seems to be no distinction between the activities for a 6 year old, and the ones for a 9 year old, so they both got sent the same pack with the same easy counting activity, which the 9 year old found too easy
Otherwise, great packs, my kids really enjoy them xx

It encouraged my child to write a letter and it captured his imagination. I would have liked the letter to have his name where it says “Dear friend”

My daughter love receiving letters from Banjo! The recipes are great and we are learning a bit about other countries. She is really taking to writing him which is why we got this!

This is great and my kids love receiving their letters and do the Meow activities.
One tiny thing is the letters do not change unfortunately and as my daughter had previously subscribed and we paused it for a moment, she is now receiving the same content (or for the cousin letters you can download, the Italian cousin we had this month was talking about the Euro from 2021)
but as I said, my kids love it and they are learning new things + it sparks their interests to learn even more about different cultures
Amazing for helping kids take an interest in geography
Brilliant - my daughter looks forward to it every month and is delighted every time banjo writes to her

Can't fault banjo
My now 10nyr old has had letters from banjo for about 2 yrs now and although she's not as excited about them as she used to be, I love them as she learns a little about a lot of places .and some of the recipes are so yummy 😋 .
