Mail clubs for 5-year-olds

17 clubs state that they suit age 5. Sorted by price.

By 5, a child can follow a story from one month to the next, and clubs with a continuing narrative start to earn their keep. This is also the age where a reply loop — a club your child can write back to — becomes genuinely exciting rather than a job for a parent.

Sixteen clubs suit five — the widest choice of any age we track. This is also the age where a child can start writing back, so a two-way club stops being a job for a parent and starts being the point.
