I was compensated for my time reviewing The Landmark Kids, but all my opinions are honest – I want to help YOU in your choice of homeschool curriculum!
Picture this...
POV: Your kids are finally quiet for a freaking second and you can hear your own thoughts again.
As a bonus, they now know exactly where France is.
And gold star for you, mom, you didn’t just chuck a tablet at them in desperation for one moment’s peace. Nope, they’re NOT mindlessly scrolling through videos of other kids playing video games. They’re solving a puzzle to figure out the next French city The Landmark Kids need to visit to catch their suspect.
Because the doorbell rang 10 minutes ago, and that iconic Landmark Kids box got all your little monsters to drop what they were doing to go on this month’s world adventure.
Hello hot coffee.
And hello to feeling like a rock star mom – because now your kids admit the Eiffel Tower is in France and not Florida.
Let me tell you all about The Landmark Kids.
TL:DR;
The Landmark Kids monthly geography subscription box gives kids a new world adventure each month. Kids solve puzzles, follow clues, and virtually visit cities in a foreign country to catch a suspect.
Kids learn geography through these mystery themed adventures which include a souvenir and cultural recipe to try.
Best for ages 7 to 12.
Raise Your Hand 🖐️ If You've Ever Mom Failed This Hard.
Ok fine, I admit it. I’ve completely and utterly failed to teach my kids geography. I didn’t mean to, it’s just one of those plates that I couldn’t keep spinning while homeschooling.
And my kids remind me of this fail constantly. The other day we drove a few hours to visit an aquarium. When we parked, my 5 year old insisted we were no longer in the United States of America.
And I’ve cringed more than once hearing my kids mix up states and cities, countries and continents.
But you know what’s not cringy? Having this Landmark Kids box come every month and feeling like my kids are finally figuring out where everything is in the world.
No more trying to find a geography curriculum. (I never get to it anyway)
No more trying to fit geography lessons into an already packed lesson plan.
No more mom guilt over never talking about the rest of the world enough.
Just open the box, let the kids play, and know they’re learning geography in a way that will make it stick.
And when they’re all done they might even make you delicious Crepes.

Kids Learn World Geography The Fun Way
Your kiddos will simply remember more of what they’re learning when they’re exploring and having fun. Take a look at all the fun ways your kids go on an adventure with The Landmark Kids geography subscription boxes:
Catch A Suspect While Traveling The World
Your kids begin their adventure by reading up on a suspect they’ll be trying to find. The colorful and relatable comics have your kids following along with The Landmark Kids as they try to discover where their suspect is headed to next.
Solve Puzzles, Riddles, & Clues
My kids love the variety of puzzles and clues they have to solve. And they have to really work on them sometimes! My kids get annoyed when puzzles are too easy – they loved the approachable challenges these puzzles presented.
Get To Know City Facts While Looking For Clues
Kids will pour over the city fact cards to solve the clues from the puzzles. Next, they’ll locate the city on the map and use the QR code to watch videos that explore key facts about the city.
Learn Map Reading Skills
As kids work to find the next city on their maps, they begin to get familiar with the country shape and location. It’s really fun to look up some of the places on other maps and globes as well.
👩🍳Experience Cultural Cuisine With Your Country's Inspired Recipe
We love having the recipes that go along with the subscription box. It’s a great way to extend the experience – into something yummy!
Some Pro Tips To Get The Most Out Of Your Landmark Kids Geography Subscription Box
Ok don’t feel pressured here. You really can just order this box and let your kids explore at their own pace.
But if you want some tips to make these boxes really go the extra mile in a homeschool experience, here ya go:
This box is a perfect fit for Morning Meeting.
If you have a morning meeting or morning basket type of time in your homeschool day, you can use The Landmark Kids for a fantastic and memorable geography piece! Solve just one clue in a morning, visit the city, then do a deep dive into city facts and features.
You can always find more videos and info online. And if you’re techy and screen share your phone, you can display the QR Code linked videos onto your TV for all your kids to watch.
Take advantage of dinner time for maximum recall.
The trading cards make a wonderful addition to dinner time conversation because they’re full of facts about each city. Pass out the cards to family members who can then take turns quizzing the family about the cities you’ve all been learning about.
Add a scratch off map or passport to add to the fun.
You can use a scratch off map or blank passport to keep track of the countries you visit throughout the year. We love having a scratch off world map displayed in our dining room so we can see how many countries we’ve learned about so far.
