Kids get super cool mail with mail4kids (but no bills or junk mail, of course!)


Pictured: mail4kids initial mailing of goodies

Clever mompreneur, Sherri-Lee Pressman, took note of just how much her kids loved getting mail. In fact, she says her kids would often ask, "Is there any mail for me?"

"I literally came up with the idea standing at the mail box with my then three year old son asking if there was any mail for him... As I stood there thinking of his little sad face a light bulb went on and things snowballed from there," she says.

That's when Pressman started her journey to launch "mail4kids." The premise is simple: Once you sign up, mail4kids automatically sends a piece of mail to your child each week - usually a collector's card that features a different animal or object. This benefits the child in many ways as he gets to experience the joy of getting mail and feeling grown up and important, and he gets to learn about the world through the fun images and detailed information on the collector's cards.

When you initially sign up for mail4kids, you get:

  • a small box to store the collector's cards
  • four cards to start off your kid's collection
  • fun stickers to decorate the box
  • a small notepad and pencil
  • a special "mystery" gift

After that, your child is mailed a small envelope that includes one collector's card and an activity sheet each week for 52 weeks (if you opt for the annual subscription).

There is an initial $25 sign-up fee and then after that you pay $12 each month or $120 for an annual subscription.

Sign up online HERE and your kids can start getting their very own mail as soon as next week! Clever, clever, clever!

    This is really a creative idea. My kids received this is the mail this week and were ecstatic to go through the contents of the package. What a simple but brilliant concept!
