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

Great for kids
Great for kids. Good activities and a good way for learning about the world and countries in a fun way. My son loves his own letters through the post.
Lovely idea!
This is such a lovely idea and encourages so much reading/drawing/discussion/activities. My wee boy was a bit unsure of a strange cat coming to the house at first but now he has really fallen under Banjo’s spell and is hoping he comes to stay one day.

We received our first letter today and I’m impressed! My son can’t wait to receive the next one, there’s lots of things that came with the letter along with online/downloadable activities too!

What a great initiative!
My son is really excited every time he receives one of Banjo's letters and learns about his and his relatives adventures!
Great idea for encouraging little ones to read and write
My daughter has been receiving letters from Banjo for a few months now and she absolutely loves it. She is so excited when she finds a new letter and also when she spots that Banjo has collected her letter. It encourages her to read and write as she is not a keen reader usually, and it is a good introduction to geography and different cultures around the world.

Absolutely amazing my son loved them and is currently using his journal every day
Quite a good overall
Overall it is quite a good thing for reluctant reader and writer to get them entertained and have them do it.
A bit pricey normally but ok with sales and offers.
Subscription is not always actioned automatically and needs customer service intervention which was quite responsive so far.
Also, it is difficult to keep track of All destinations vs those we received directly in the personal space which is not very user friendly.
Latest letter came without reply sheet not envelope to send it back. It could be printed though but i don't have printing capacity. It was a special one, so hope it is not going to become the norm in the future.

Banjo Robinson is the best
Banjo Robinson is the best! My daughter, 7, loves getting post from him and it is always met with an excited squeal! There's lots of lovely extras too, including a fortnightly recipe and stickers for completing challenges. We would definitely recommend!

Exploring the World from the comfort of home
Banjo Robinson has been writing to us for over a year now. There is genuine excitement when one of his letters drops through our door. My kids are 5 and 7 years old and both are fully engaged in the immersive experience of writing to Banjo. The only challenge for me is remembering to retrieve his letters from under the couch. There has been lots of learning as Banjo explores other countries and cultures as well as a desire to sample new foods and drinks along the way

Once again Banjo Robinson have gone out of their way
Once again Banjo Robinson have gone out of their way to help give my granddaughter an educational experience with added bells and whistles. I can't thank them enough for their help, personal service and speed or response.

There couldn't be a better way to introduce my little explorer to the world!
My son absolutely loves Banjo Robinson…
My son absolutely loves Banjo Robinson and the letters and stickers that come in the post. He's obsessed with learning about different countries so this is perfect. It also encourages him to write back too, which is what sets it apart from other initiatives. It means he's developing and learning at the same time. And the excitement when the letter disappears from under the sofa at night is priceless!

My son was so excited to receive his letter from Banjo (a real cat, than can write?!). He has been busy drawing pictures and writing a letter back, shopping for the ingredients for the recipe Banjo sent him. Definitely worth the money!
I have been getting Banjo Robinson…
I have been getting Banjo Robinson letters for about 5 months now and It’s the best thing I did for my 7 year old. I have always struggled to get him to write and keep interest in anything. He loves getting his letters, reading about Banjo’s adventures, and tracking his travels on the map. He replies back to Banjo as soon as the letters arrive and is now enjoying filling in his Banjo diary (which is amazing in itself) I have bought gift subscription for friends children as I think it’s that good. Would definitely recommend this subscription for any child.

Brilliant idea
My daughter loves getting letters from Banjo. The literacy element is very useful in developing her reading and writing skills. However we both enjoy finding out about new places the most and she loves adding the stickers to her world map.

Good activities for kids
Good service and activities for kids. Prices are bit high, otherwise everything is good.

The excitement of real post!
My children love receiving letters from Banjo, and writing back. They're learning about the world, different foods and animals and they always get excited when a new letter arrives through the real post!
He loves receiving letters in the post…
He loves receiving letters in the post and makes us try the recipes that come with it too.
Learn about the World
My girls look forward to this and get to learn about the world. They enjoy writing the letters and posting it under the settee.
The only reason I didn’t give it the full 5 stars is due to the rewards through points on the website. I can only get the majority of points from social media edits or sharing pictures. Unfortunately I don’t share photos of my girls online and no longer have social media, so it is a shame as so hard to tier up. Other than that it’s been great
