What our customers say

We have fallen in love with Mind Expanders Club. My story loving girl adores the adventures that Poppy and Ignatius go on. My fact loving boy goes straight to the glossary page for all his information desires. I am blown away by the number of activities we can enjoy together or for some quiet learning time and how it is all interwoven for the chosen location. Everything has been finished with such high quality and beauty. It truly has become the highlight of our week to explore these letters.

April, mum of a 7, 5 and 3 year old.

Our whole family look forward to receiving the Mind Expanders Club in the mail - me, my children and their grandparents too! From opening the envelope, to reading the Professor's stories that are full of fascinating information and beautiful linguistics to the extra interactive activities, we all learn and expand our minds! Highly recommend! We're going to buy our interstate cousins a subscription so they can share the joy and discuss the adventures and learnings together.

Sam, mum of a 6, 4 and 3 year old

Not only were my kids in awe of what we received from The Mind Expanders Club, but so was I. To be honest, I was actually blown away by the creativity and the obvious huge amount of hours and mind power that has gone into creating such an incredible story and characters for our children to learn from and expand their own creativity and learning.Thank you for this. We are so looking forward to next month’s letters and seeing where Professors Marlowe and Whitley are going to be adventuring, and what fun will be inside.

Nicola, mum of 14, 13, 11, 9, 6, 4 and 2 year old

My 10 year old was a very reluctant reader and was also not interested in school at all. We thought we would give the Mind Expanders Club a go, as he used to be so curious in the world, and I am so excited. He loves reading the letters, the light has gone on in his eyes again and he is asking questions again. My 6 year old is also enjoying it, we go through it together. I would highly recommend this to any family who wants to help their kids love learning. It’s also just so fun, we love the characters.

Emma, mum of a 10 and 6 year old
