Dear Jamie,
Today I rowed across Lighthouse Cove in my little boat. I found a lantern with a loose handle.
I tied it with a blue ribbon from my boat. It worked! Jamie, what would you bring on a boat adventure?

How the mail works
A few helpful details
Here's how Little Letters works.
What happens next?
Add the child's details, then continue to secure checkout for shipping and payment. After payment, we prepare the order for the next open mailing. After production is complete, we'll send you a parent preview of what's inside, so you can feel confident while your child enjoys opening it all on their own.
Which package should I choose?
Choose 3 months for a great start, 6 months for our recommended experience, or 12 months for the best price per letter. Each is one payment with shipping included.
Is this good for gifting?
Yes. It is especially sweet from parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and family friends.
What ages is this best for?
Little Letters is recommended for ages 4–10. You can enter ages 3–12; we use your child’s actual age to personalize their letters.
Is shipping included?
Yes. Shipping is included with every order. We currently ship within the United States.
When does the first letter mail?
Letters mail on the 1st and 15th. The default cutoff is two business days before each mail date and can be adjusted for operations; orders after the cutoff move to the following mailing.
Will I be charged again?
No. You pay once for the complete 3-, 6-, or 12-month experience. There are no automatic charges after checkout.
