skissugar Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 what are some of the magazines your child recieves. My kids love getting mail, and well their mail is far and few between. So i thought i would add in some magazines for them, but not sure what yet. I have a 6yr old girl and almost 10yr old boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MelissaMinNC Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 My 6yo girl loves Spider. I am thinking about God's World News for next year as well. Spider has literature - short stories, poems, folk tales, etc., as well as art, recipes, projects, lots of good stuff. And no ads! I think you can check it out at the cricket magazine website (I'm sorry I don't know the url off the top of my head, but I'm sure google does. ;) ) :) Melissa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michele B Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Zoobooks You can get a subscription, but I ordered the ones I wanted from Rainbow Resources. Michele B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love2Smile Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 I second Zoobooks, my 13 yr old loves them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linders Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Each month the focus is on a different animal or animal group. We've been getting it for almost 3 years and my DS 7 and 5 devour it. Also, Ranger Rick and My Big Backyard. Love all of these for the appropriateness of the articles and activities and no ads. We got National Geographic for Kids for a while but I disliked all the ads and a lot of articles were things like "How the Movie Spiderman Was Made." When I wrote to cancel and explained why, they offered me a great deal on the actual National Geographic magazine, which we now receive and love. Last month's issue focused on China was great for us all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTMindy Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Kids Discover is a good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momto2Cs Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 We get ZooBooks, Ladybug (for 5 y.o.), Spider (7 y.o.) and are looking at Kids Discover, Highlights, and I'm still debating Nat'l Geographic Kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacia Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 9yog: American Girl, Cricket, Young Rider 7yob: Nat'l Geographic Kids, Lego Brickmaster Magazine We've also done Highlights in the past. And, when the kids were younger, Ranger Rick & Your Big Backyard magazines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virginia Heather Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Your son might enjoy Boys Life-- my boys (7 & 9) received a subscription from their Grandpa and they really like it, though I think they mostly flip through and look at the pics as opposed to actually reading the articles! Your Big Backyard & Ranger Rick are also great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellycbr Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 We discovered Chirp magazine while visiting relatives in Canada. Its fantastic! There are 3 different magazines based on age and ability. Check it out at www.owlkids.com. We also love National Geographic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie Laurie Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 13 yr old gets National Geographic 7 yr old gets Highlights 5 yr old gets Your Big Backyard (she's an animal lover) 3 yr old gets Highlights High Five 5 yr old loves some old Ranger Ricks we have so we'll probably get that soon too. I'd also like to get them a mag with more fiction and poetry, like Spider or Cricket. My oldest had National Geographic Kids when he was younger but I didn't renew it because it has advertisements. http://www.cricketmag.com/shop_magzines.asp There is a listing of their mags on that link. There are some really neat ones for older kids, like Muse and Odyssey. Calliope and Cobblestone are history based and look like a fun idea.

cabrams755 Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 :iagree: Kids Discover is a good one. And God's World News, and there was another by Focus on the Family...Clubhouse Jr. I think it was called. Don't know if it's still available...way beyond that stage now :001_smile: Chris (did I hit 20 yet?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kareni Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 10 yog - Cricket and Muse7 yog - Spider and Ask http://www.cricketmag.com/kids_home.asp Yes, I recommend the above as well. If your child is interested in different cultures, also consider Skipping Stones.
