First Look
This is a look at the goodies. Most of the contents were shrink wrapped in a bundle.
There was a letter to the “grown ups” that explain the nature of the subscription and gave a bit of an overview of where Captain Bo and Alli are going. The total journey is lasting 2- 3 years and they started in Alabama and are planning to go to the Bahamas in November.
There was a large messenger type bag, to store all your treasures and postcards.
Sailor's Bracelet and Craft: A sailor bracelet was included in the box, along with rope to create your own. The sailor bracelet is similar to ones worn by sailors. They made to show off rope tying skills, wipe sweat off their brow and give them food fortune. Instructions were given, so your child can make their own sailor bracelet.
Junior Captains Logbook: The logbook is made of recycled paper and great for journaling about Captain Bo and Alli's travels.
This is a peek inside.
Passport, License, stickers: Two sheets of nautical stickers, an official license and a passport was included in the kit.
Inside the passport were blank pages to put the passport stamp stickers on.
Postcards: There was a postcard for the boat, along with a postcard of Alli and Captain Bo.
The back of the postcards for Alli and Bo have a little letter from each of them.
Poster: The was a huge poster of the world and the bottom features a closer look at the boat.
There was also an inflatable globe, so your child can find where the boat is at each month.
Final Thought: This was a really fun starter kit. If you want to check out some videos by Bo and Alli, you can submit your email on their website and check out two videos. I thought the starter kit was really cute and it also comes with 3 months of online content. I wasn't able to check out all the online content yet, as it hasn't been released, but the starter kit is cute.
