Children’s Magazines

by

mag

I am just culling my kids’ books from our move. Some of their books are baby-ish and others don’t hold their interest anymore, so I put them aside for baby K. Then I came across our big old stash of Wild Animal Baby magazines from the National Wildlife Federation that my children got as a gift from their Grandmother. My kids were wild about this magazine and I know baby K will love them too.

My kids LOVED getting mail and having a new magazine to read each month. Each issue is short enough to keep a toddler’s attention but stuffed full of activities, stories and craft ideas. The pages are thicker than a regular magazine so they won’t rip easily and can be turned by little hands.
Wild Animal Baby magazine is designed for 1-4 year olds.

For children aged 3-7, check out Your Big Backyard magazine which my children get now. It is a bigger magazine with more facts and activities and crafts. For kids older than seven years old check out the Ranger Rick magazine.

These are all great gift ideas, and inexpensive ideas for your kids for year round fun. At $20 a year for a subscription, it is a lot cheaper than many other magazines or books.
Tell me do you get these magazine for your children? What do your kids think of them?

    Found your site through the blog link a thon (I’m #29 and 30). We also enjoy the National Geographic Kids magazines. I have saved all of the Wild Baby ones, too. My 5 year old still enjoys them.
