Little Passports Expands Distribution Through Partnership With National Geographic

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Fans of Little Passports, an award-winning educational subscription service for kids, can now purchase the World Edition in the National Geographic Online Store. Just in time for the holiday season, National Geographic is offering the 12-month World Edition subscription for little explorers everywhere.

Little Passports' World Edition, geared for kids ages 5-10, follows globetrotting characters Sam and Sofia as they travel the world on a GPS enabled scooter.  The first month's Explorer Kit arrives in a suitcase and contains everything needed to get started: a letter from Sam and Sofia, a map, a passport, stickers, access to online games, and more. Each month thereafter children receive country-specific packages filled with fun souvenirs, letters, stickers, photos, activity sheets, and more.

"We could not be more excited about working with National Geographic this holiday season. With a focus on exciting and educating kids about their world, the partnership comes as a natural fit for both brands," says Amy Norman, CEO and co-founder of Little Passports. "We share the educational passion of National Geographic, and aim to provide kids with fun, engaging ways to learn about the world that surrounds them."
