Little Letters Club vs Music with Melody

Where they differ

Both are letters and activities clubs. Past that they pull apart: Little Letters Club also covers stickers and books & magazines, while Music with Melody adds music.

On price there is effectively nothing in it — $11/mo against $11/mo, which works out within a dollar a month of each other. Price is not the deciding factor here.

Shipping is the one that rules a club out rather than in: Little Letters Club ships to US and Canada, Music with Melody to Not stated.

Little Letters Club addresses the post to the child by name; Music with Melody does not. That sounds minor and it is the detail people mention most often — the envelope being visibly theirs is most of the appeal for a younger child.

What each one sends

Little Letters Club

A themed monthly letter addressed to the child with activities, book recommendations and a recipe, plus two or three small extras such as stickers or a coloring page. Also included is a "Pass It On" postcard featuring artwork by other club families, meant to be sent along to someone else. Letters mail on the 15th for the following month.

Music with Melody

A monthly letter built around one piece of music, with sheet music or a listening guide with QR codes to recordings, a section on the song's history and context, and a hands-on activity tied to that song. Aimed at families who want more music and less screen time at home.

Which one to pick

We are not going to pretend there is a winner here — they are close enough to be on the same shortlist, which is why this page exists. What we would say is that the choice usually turns on the household rather than the club: how much adult time there is, whether the child reads independently yet, and whether you want post that asks something of them or post that simply arrives.

Read the full listings before deciding, and follow through to each club's own site — prices, terms and gift options are theirs to change and ours only to record.
