Our story
Happy Mail Kids began in a regional town, with a single Aussie mum of two — one with a level 2 ASD, OCD and ADHD diagnosis — searching for a way to keep her children engaged during the COVID-19 lockdowns. Like many parents, she struggled to make learning at home feel exciting.
Out of necessity, she created fun, educational “newsletters” and posted them to her own mailbox for her kids to discover. The moment of receiving snail mail sparked joy and anticipation — suddenly, learning felt like an adventure. Inside, the kids found facts to explore, crafts to create, puzzles to solve, and even recipes to try.
And that’s how Happy Mail Kids was born: screen-free, hands-on fun that kids look forward to every single month.
Meet the gang!
Four friends, countless adventures, and endless fun while learning. Say hello to Riley, Jules, Aanya … and of course, Riley’s dog Bella!
Jules
My real name is Julia, but all my friends call me Jules (and I’d love you to call me that too!). I’m almost 8, and I use a wheelchair — but that doesn’t stop me from exploring the world. I love science experiments and cooking (with a little help from Mum).
Riley
I’m 8 years old and I love adventuring, playing games, and walking my dog Bella. She’s big and strong — sometimes our walks turn into wild adventures! Other times, we play together at the dog park.
Aanya
I’m 7 years old — the youngest in the gang, but super fast and clever, so I keep up easily! I often wear a sari, which is a beautiful traditional outfit from my Indian heritage. My favourite things are crafts and gardening. Do you like growing plants?
Bella
Woof! I’m Riley’s dog and the gang’s loyal sidekick. I love walks, games, and joining in all the adventures. But most of all, I love chasing sticks Riley throws for me!
