Join the original animal letter subscription!

Receive a monthly fun and educational resource for any young wildlife lover!

Come along on an adventure with a new animal each month. Hunt with a komodo dragon in Indonesia, explore the ocean with a seahorse, weather a hurricane in southwest Louisiana with a brown pelican, migrate with a bison in Yellowstone National Park.. the adventures are endless!

Each letter is traditionally handcrafted and handwritten, making it a custom work of art that is sure to spark your child's curiosity and creativity.

Join today and start exploring the wild!

Collector's Cards

Each letter comes with a high-quality collector's card! The front shows a hand-painted animal from the letter, and the back lists key facts, biomes, and conservation status.  They are color-coded based on biomes. Some great ways to use these are as flash cards to help with animal identification since the names are on the back or help with learning the facts in the same flash card style. They can also be great for use in art lessons, grouping animals into categories, "I Spy" games, story/writing prompts, etc.  There are so many possibilities!  

Distribution Maps

As of June 2022, all letters include a hand-painted distribution map to expand your learning! This portion of the letter lets you see the location of the animal, as well as a few facts about that area of the world. It's a great way to incorporate geography!

Activity Sheets

Included in your subscription is access to our printable activity sheets. These range from word searches, crack the code, puzzles, coloring sheets, and many more! Put your knowledge to the test, get creative, and have fun!

Traditionally Handcrafted

Each letter is created using traditional art mediums such as pencil and paint. With attention to detail in mind, the process can take a few weeks from the very beginning stages of a letter to the completed stage with finished artwork and handwriting. Each letter you receive is a custom work of art.

Take a peek behind the scenes!

Giveaways

Expand the fun when you follow us on Instagram and Facebook! Each month there is a chance to win a free letter by guessing the animal based on the color palette. You can also enter other giveaways for fun items such as books, games, experiences such as zoo memberships, and more!
