Discover wonderful people and places every month with Paddington Bear
Sign up for a monthly $25 donation and as a bear-sized thank you, Paddington will send your child a personalised postcard (and more!) every month. With each pack, they’ll explore a different country with Paddington and learn about the life of a child who lives there.
Perfect for children aged 4-10, Paddington’s Postcards is a wonderful way to teach your little adventurer about how other children and families live around the world. UNICEF Australia receives 100 per cent of your monthly donation which goes towards supporting children around the world!
