Questions & answers

The small print, kindly answered.

№ 01

No. The Little Post is a correspondence product with a publication inside — not a magazine with a letter tucked in. The editorial content gives the child something to read and the grandparent something to write about. But the reason it exists is the letter going in and the drawing coming back. That two-way exchange is what no magazine offers. The content is the wrapper. The correspondence is the point.

№ 02

No — anyone who wants to be a pen pal to a child can give The Little Post. Grandparents are our most common buyers, but aunts, uncles, godparents, and family friends give it too. If there's a child in your life you'd like to stay close to, it works.

№ 03

Directly to the child. You give The Little Post as a gift — we post each edition to the child's address, in their name, so it arrives in their letterbox. The personalised letter from you is printed inside. You receive the reply.

№ 04

The reply page isn't for writing — it's for sending something back. A drawing, a scribble, a handprint, a sticker. A 3-year-old's page of wobbly crayon marks is exactly right. There are no instructions and no wrong answers. The parent helps put it in the envelope and takes the child to the postbox. That trip — watching an envelope disappear into the slot — is an event when you are four. The grandparent receives something handmade with their name on it. The kind of thing that ends up on a fridge.

№ 05

Yes. The Little Post is designed, printed, and posted in Australia. We currently deliver to Australian addresses only. International delivery is something we're working toward.

Every month, they'll run to the letterbox.
And one day, something comes back to you.

Something small. Handmade. With your name on it, in crayon.
