Educational magazine subscriptions

NOTE: While I try to only recommend wholesome, family-friendly magazines, sometimes magazines will print materials opposed to what I personally believe. I cannot be held accountable for the complete contents of any magazine.

American Girl Magazine

Appropriate for girls over 8 years old, American Girl magazine includes craft ideas, puzzles, contests, advice, games, and other fun activities and articles in each issue.

Family Fun Magazine

I personally subscribe to Family Fun, designed for parents of children ages 3 to 12,  because each magazine is filled with creative ideas for incorporating hands-on fun through creating, cooking, and learning.

Kiwi Magazine

KIWI introduces families to living a natural and organic lifestyle on an everyday basis.

Boys Life Magazine

For ages 7-18, Boys Life attempts to focus on what young guys like, bringing adventure, fun and excitement in every issue with a balance of fiction and non-fiction, great jokes, scouting tips and examples of good citizenship.

Fun for Kidz

Relatively new, Fun For Kidz is for boys and girls ages 5-13 years and contains no advertising, no violence and no teen material. Each theme-based issue includes projects to make, build, draw, cook and create.

Hopscotch

Created to challenge young girls to enjoy childhood and not grow up too quickly, Hopscotch is a wholesome magazine for girls age 8-14with each issue featuring exciting stories, riddles, poetry, profiles and interviews, crafts, puzzles and a question and answer column for girls without material about boyfriends, makeup, fashion, fads, etc.

Jack & Jill

Since 1938, Jack & Jill has provided the best stories and educational activities for their children ages 6-12 through stories, articles, crafts, games, health and fitness, poetry, fiction, jokes, puzzles, easy recipes and true life, inspiring stories about real people.

Ranger Rick / Ranger Rick Jr.

Ranger Rick (ages 7-12) and Ranger Rick Jr. (ages 3-7) are packed with amazing animal facts and stunning wildlife photos.

Created for young readers, Zoobooks is delivered ten times a year and is packed with educational information about the animals your children love.
