A gift from Grandpa Wise

The screen-free afternoon your child will actually ask for.

A real letter from Nanna Bell, addressed to your child, that turns "I'm bored" into an hour of imagining. The first one is free — write their name and it's ready in minutes.

Free. No card. Just your child's name.

Does this sound like your house?

It's 4pm on a Tuesday. Dinner isn't ready, your child is bored, and the tablet is already in their hand. You say yes — just a few minutes — and an hour disappears. Then the meltdown when it goes off. Then the guilt, all the way to bedtime.

You imagined something quieter. Richer. A child who plays with real things, asks real questions, and falls asleep with a head full of stories instead of a brain buzzing from a screen.

That childhood still exists. And it arrives in an envelope with your child's name on it.

What the free letter is

A real letter — not an email, not an app

Written by Grandpa Wise, to your child. Read it on screen, or print it and pop it straight into their hands today. He introduces Nanna Bell and her friends and opens a story world that continues, month after month, by post.

✉️

Their name, their letter

Written to them, not just addressed to them.

Read aloud by Grandpa Wise

For bedtime, the car, or a rainy afternoon.

A screen-free idea to try today

No prep, no craft cupboard — just something small that turns the afternoon around.

The moment

The bit we can't put in an envelope

There's a moment on delivery day every family describes the same way: the letterbox check becomes an event, the envelope gets carried inside like treasure, and a child who usually asks for the iPad asks you to read it again. Mail addressed to a small person is a kind of magic a glowing screen has never managed.

The letterbox check that usually turns up nothing turns up something with their name on it. It gets carried inside like treasure — and the child who always asks for the iPad asks you to read it again.
