September: Balance & Change
A personalised nature-and-folklore adventure, created in Ireland and delivered through their letterbox.
September’s Letter follows the moment when summer begins to soften into autumn. Through story, making and exploring, children will meet Áine, discover the changing season and experiment with balance at the autumn equinox.
Inside the September Letter
💌 A personalised seasonal letter introducing September’s theme of balance and change
📖 The Last Gift of Summer — an original six-page story inspired by Áine, the Irish goddess of summer and the flourishing land
🪨 An Equinox Balance Stones adventure with a little fabric collecting pouch and instructions for finding, stacking and experimenting with smooth stones
🍳 Morning Eggs with Chives — a beautifully illustrated, child-friendly recipe to make together
🍂 September nature prompts to help children notice the changing light, ripening fruit and first signs of autumn
✨ Two illustrated September keepsakes to collect
Everything is printed in full colour and arrives together in a bright green, letterbox-friendly envelope.
Smooth stones are not included—hunting for suitable stones is part of the adventure.
A ready-made seasonal moment
Some weeks, the nature walk doesn’t happen. The activity you saved gets forgotten and suddenly it is teatime again.
The Little Sprouts Letter gives you something thoughtful to open and enjoy without having to search for ideas or plan everything beforehand. Read the story together, head outside with the pouch or make the recipe when it suits your family.
There is no timetable to follow and no garden is needed.
Rooted in Irish nature and folklore
Each monthly Letter explores a new moment in the Irish seasonal year through an original story, a hands-on activity and something simple to make or taste together.
It is created for children aged 3–9 by a solo Irish founder who grew up with her hands in the soil and her head full of old stories.
Whether your family lives in Ireland or further away, it offers children a gentle connection to Irish stories, seasons and the natural world.

Good to know

Can I send it as a gift?
Yes. Enter the child’s name and delivery address when ordering and their Letter will be personalised for them.
What changes each month?
Every Letter follows a new seasonal theme with a different Irish-inspired story, activity and recipe.
