How does the subscription work for multiple children in one household?
For households with multiple children, individual subscriptions can be ordered for each child or they can share one subscription.
To share a subscription, enter multiple names (“Tommy and Skyler”) in the "Child's first name" field when adding the subscription to your cart.
If individual subscriptions are ordered, each child will receive the same postcard from Paco (he can only be in one place at a time) but they are addressed individually and arrive separately.
