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

Excited every time Banjo's letters arrive

We have been signed up to Banjo Robinson for many months now. My 2 girls love receiving the letters twice a month. The letter template is just the right length for there concentration. They also love adding the stickers to the map and seeing it grow. There are plenty of further activities Sent via e.mail so plenty to keep the kids entertained if you can keep up with printing it out yourself. There are also pictures to colour and receipes to complete each fortnight. It has definitely helped my girls writing skills.

Banjo is a real magical delight in our house. My little boy loves having to post his letters via cat mail and we love finding out about Banjos adventures all over the world. We always discover new things with Banjo and the content and activities we receive are cross curricular, which is great as we home educate.
I would definitely recommend getting on board with Banjo and bringing a little bit of moggy magic into your world.

Banjo Robinson is a wonderful subscription that my 6 year old has really engaged with. He enjoys writing letters and marking Banjo’s adventures on his map. He really enjoys the recipe cards and looks forward to whipping up a treat!

Highly recommended for 5-7 year olds

The Banjo Robinson package was a joy to receive. The illustrations are lively and colourful and really captured my son's imagination. I was impressed with the quality of the world map. He was delighted that the letter was personal to him and wanted to write back to 'Catty' straight away. He's nearly 6 and just learning to read and write and the activities and story were perfect for his age level and attention span.

I liked the wholesomeness of the stories, which have a message of kindness and being open to new cultures. It's also a great inspiring way to practice his handwriting and a motivation to learn how to compose a letter and express his ideas.

The only slight criticism i have is the communication was slightly vague before hand so I was actually not 100% sure it was going to arrive in time for his birthday but so glad it did!

Thinking about it,you’ll not be disappointed

My son loves he’s letters from Banjo! Always checking the mailbox. We live the together time this has brought to us and learning all about new countries from banjo . He tells all his school friends about he’s letters and we’ve made the food from the recipe cards too .
As a parent I’ve not been disappointed at all by any of the letters, so much so I’ve just ordered the Banjo plush and book as an extra Christmas gift, as I know he will be so happy ! Ages 5

Customer service that goes above and beyond

Customer service that goes above and beyond.

We love our subscription. My girls get so excited to post their letters under the sofa and find that it has disappeared. Brilliant.

The Cat Mail is a great bonus. We use the blog to add to our experience for each country. It's all really well thought out and engaging.

The Travel Treats reward system is fun extra too.

And every time I've contacted them, the customer service has been outstanding. We upgraded to a 12 month subscription and I think it's going to be a great year, full of excitement.

The perfect subscription

Such a wonderful idea - my 7 year old daughter is always so excited to get her letters from Banjo. And to post letters back to him via ‘cat mail’. She’s a reluctant reader and writer but Banjo has motivated her to engage with it. And she really loves learning about the places he’s visited.

We Love Banjo

We absolutely adore Banjo here. My 6yo gets so excited seeing his letter arrive. Its super easy for adults to navigate when adding the PS. It's educational without being boring, the recipes mean my normally reluctant kid tries something new, even if she doesn't like it knowing she's willing to try it makes me so happy.
It's also helped with her writing and spelling. Her teacher thinks it's a fantastic idea.

The customer service too is elite! So quick to respond and beyond helpful. Im confident that if there's a problem it will be handled quickly.

I found Banjo through another small business and honestly it's been one of my favourite finds, I recommend it so much!

Just great materials for kids to learn

I can't believe how much my Year 3 kids love Banjo since receiving his first letter. English is not their mother language, so I read and explained the first letter and materials to them. But they started reading it on their own after that! How much initiation Banjo and the other characters give can you imagine.
We have a large world map on a wall, and every time they would check on the world map to see where Banjo and his cousin have travelled to. Then 2 weeks ago, my girl's teacher told me she is impressed with her knowledge of where the countries and continents are. Amazing how it demonstrates you don't just learn from textbooks and encyclopaedia - different channels link the picture together too!
Initially I paid for two subscriptions, one for each kid. To be honest they are not cheap, so to save some money I combine two in one, and Banjo Robinson can simply put their names together as recipient. Kids are still happy. I even changed from monthly subscription to annual now.
Well done Banjo! I look forward to seeing more new features in your letters!

We are renewing with a years subscription. My daughter absolutely loves receiving letters from her favourite pen pal. It has encouraged her to write more, and she loves sticking her stickers on the map every two weeks.

Fantastic interactive activity for kids

My son loves getting his letters from banjo. His favourite part is finding where he's sent his letter from on the map and putting on the sticker. The only thing he doesn't like is that he can't meet banjo! Maybe he needs to do an animated video chat in the future so his fans can "see" him.

My son loves getting letters

My son loves getting letters. My son hated writing so I looked into ways to encourage him and found Banjo. So glad I did because he loves writing back to Banjo and is so excited to receive a reply. We love the extra emailed activities and the new reward club is fantastic too. Letters from Banjo Robinson have truly made a positive difference to our life, thanks!

My child loves getting her letters from her pen pal banjo. Adding a ps to make it personal really adds to the magic. She tells everyone about the cat who writes to her and the quality of the things she gets sent are fantastic.
Brilliant company. Highly recommend.
