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

My 3 year old son loves it

My 3 year old son loves it. It reduced a lot of our transitional tantrum. We just write down what we have planned for the day and that’s it use it as a reference point through out

Feline fun and hugely educational.

We absolutely love our letters from Banjo Robinson - it has been such a fun and engaging way to encourage my daughter to read, write and learn about the world. We've had so much fun recreating the various dishes and treats from around the world too from the recipes included in every Banjo letter.

My child loves this product and it encourages her to write letters. The cooks are simple and she loves to do this aswell, the colouring is perfect to tuck in my bag and use as a tool to keep her occupied when we go to restaurants.

An outstanding concept at an affordable price

My 5 year old son adores receiving the lovely colourful letters, information and cool activity sheets from Banjo, the magic travelling cat. He eagerly puts his paw stickers on Banjo’s special World Map so he knows where Banjo has visited and he genuinely enjoys writing to him or drawing him intricate pictures. As a primary school teacher and Mum, I think this is such a clever and unique idea at a very affordable price. The resources are all really thoughtfully planned and are of high quality ( examples are the large world map, recipe cards, fun quizzes, country information, stickers, colouring in flags ….even the envelopes we receive are works of art!) It is helping my young child to read and write for pleasure and with self motivation and independence. What’s not to like? I am keeping the gorgeous, effortful letters and annotated pictures my son creates for Banjo, safely hidden, as a precious memento of this magical time in his literary development and understanding of the world. Thank you Banjo and your fabulous team for an outstanding idea and faultless service xxx

An absolute MUST for children

My 8 year old loves receiving his letter from Banjo. He gets so excited when they arrive and he runs upstairs to get his world map ready to put the stickers on and reads the letters out loud to me every time. Would definitely recommend to any child interested in the world and different countries.

Best Geography Lessons!

This is the greatest way to teach children about the world. My son loved receiving letters from Banjo and writing him back. I wish there was still a subscription in the USA and if it returns I'd be sure to opt in again. The program is purrfect.

Very good

I purchased this for my nephew so I asked my sister for her opinion to write the review
She said her son lives the letters arriving and is very excited
My sister said customer services were brilliant really helpful the only thing she said was she was a little confused what she was meant to do with some of the tasks online

My son loves receiving Banjo’s letters

My son loves receiving Banjo’s letters. We rush to the map to see where he has traveled, put the stickers on & read all the information about the countries visited. The letters are brilliantly informative without a hint of boring! Thank you Banjo & The Team!

A fun and lively way of encouraging literacy in little ones.

This is one of the best things I could have given my 6 yr old granddaughter for her December birthday. She loves getting her letters and with the personalised P.S. that I add she loves writing back telling him all her latest news. She has taken her letters into school to show her teacher and she agrees it is encouraging her literacy skills.
