The Sunday Letter · About

About SundayKit.

SundayKit is a small product idea: a weekly emailed kit for the Sunday video call between long-distance grandparents and the grandkids — a printable craft, a read-aloud story, a video-call game, and five conversation prompts that are not “how was school?”.

Why this exists

Most distance-grandparent calls follow the same arc: hello, how are you, how was school, fine, silence, bye. The kids drift to the edge of the frame; the grandparent feels they did something wrong. Nobody did. The medium just doesn't carry casual hanging-out the way an in-person visit does.

SundayKit is built to give both ends of the call something specific to do together. Make a paper crown side by side. Read a story while the kid follows along. Play a game designed for two cameras and two living rooms.

Where we are right now

We're in a validation phase. The free sample on /sample is the real thing — three age-banded PDFs (3–5, 6–8, 9–12), all hand-authored, all printable from a home inkjet. No paid subscription is live yet. We're using these first weeks to learn whether the kit actually works for the people who try it.

The most useful thing you can do right now is try the sample and tell us what worked. Every reply is read by a human on our team within a few days.

Who we are

SundayKit is being built by Magpie, a small team that builds and tests product ideas to see which ones deserve to exist. SundayKit is one of those tests. If the weekly version proves itself in this validation window, subscriptions will open and the kit will land in your inbox every Sunday morning. If it doesn't, we'll write to everyone who signed up to say so.

How to reach us

The fastest way is the feedback form. It writes straight into our internal queue and we read every row. We don't have a staffed support inbox during validation — when one exists, this page will list it.

The smaller print

See our Privacy Policy for what we collect and why, and our Terms of Service for the rules of the validation phase.
