K.E.
We purchased the three month package on the Mamapedia Deal so I don't know what the true cost is for a full subscription. It was fun and the materials were good quality. My son is six (almost seven) and he got very excited about it and believed Sophie and Sam (the characters) really sent him things. They send a letter, map, stickers for the suitcase (sent as the first package to store everything else they send later), pretend passport book, stickers for the passport book, stickers for countries for the suitcase, and an "artifact" from the country. They sent an amethyst from a mine last month in South America and he loved it. I would say it's suited well for ages 6-8. It think it's a fun way to integrate some culture and geography.
