Collect Tiny Pieces of a Very Big World
Designed for ages 3 to 7, with keepsake appeal for the whole familyPoppy’s Discovery Decks turn the small things children find while traveling into a collection they can hold. Each destination includes cards for landmarks, foods, words, animals, transportation, symbols, and everyday discoveries.
Find It. Collect It. Remember It.
A child may not remember the entire history of a building, but they may remember finding its card.
They may remember tasting the food on another card, saying the word printed on the back, spotting an animal, or adding a new destination to their collection.
The cards can become a matching game, a scavenger hunt, a small flip book, a bedtime picture book, or a family record of everywhere you explored together.

One Collection, Many Ways to Play
Before the Trip
Introduce a few landmarks, foods, and words so children recognize them when they arrive.
During the Trip
Bring a few cards and let children find the real place, food, animal, or object.
Back at the Hotel
Use the cards for matching, sorting, storytelling, or choosing the next day.
After the Trip
Add the cards to a ring book or a collection box and record where and when your family found them.
A Collection That Grows With Them
Each destination adds another small piece to the collection.
Children can start with simple picture matching and use the same cards later for reading, sorting, storytelling, geography, and remembering family trips.
Parents can keep the collection long after the child outgrows the games.
Begin Poppy’s Rome Collection
Collect the Colosseum, the Pantheon, the Trevi Fountain, gelato, pizza, friendly Italian words, laurel leaves, scooters, and other little pieces of Rome.
Traveling With Different Ages
The same destination may be available in several formats, which makes it easier to choose a different experience for each child.

Tell me who is coming and how long you have.
That is usually enough to know if this is a ship, a train, or a car with the windows down.
