A look inside July's Envelope

This month, members discovered the story of Benjamin Edes, the Boston printer whose press helped carry bold ideas through the streets of colonial America.

Inside the envelope:

  • An illustrated Story Letter
  • A replica Boston Gazette printer's ink proof
  • A replica colonial broadside
  • A collectible Benjamin Edes Founder’s Card
  • A Keeper’s Question for family conversation
  • A Benjamin Edes portrait sticker

Each month brings a true story from America’s past, along with thoughtfully created pieces that help children step into the story, remember the person behind it, and consider the character they displayed.

What families are saying

Because the stories matter - but the conversations matter even more.

  • We loved getting to spend that time together. Her face fell so hard when I said we'd be getting F&K each month. She said, "It's not every week?!?!? 😭"

    - Sam, mama of four

  • Got our first @foundersandkeepers letter today. The kids LOVED it, they can't wait for their next one. 😊

    - Mel, homeschool mama of four

  • This is AMAZING!!!! Worth it! Seriously this is AMAZING for all kids. Not just homeschool kids!
