My kids absolutely love this magazine! I originally ordered it for my 9 year old daughter but my 7 year old son snagged it and he loved it too. It’s got beautiful colors throughout, and keeps them engaged for long stretches of time. I like that it’s not a one read and done magazine - they keep reaching for it to flip through. A subscription would make a great gift
My girls took more after their Dad than me. Sure, they like music, but they love computers, robotics, and programming more. So I was intrigued by this magazine and wanted to check it out. They are getting it for Christmas, so I can't speak to their reaction yet, but I couldn't put it down and really enjoyed reading it.I am very happy to report that I didn't find anything in this magazine to be political at all- that was one thing I really wanted to vet this magazine for. It really is just wholesome material with fun puzzles, interesting facts, and DIY activities to do at home, and there are no ads. I am considering subscribing to the magazine this summer, but money is a bit tight right now.The only thing that really gives this magazine a "girls" vibe is the graphic design and the fact that they interview and write about women. But I think my boys will peruse and enjoy this book too. This is such a wonderful magazine for girls though- so much better than the stuff I bought when I was a young teenager. I didn't even like the material that much, I just thought it was cool to have them and I didn't want to miss out. This is the kind of magazine girls can really be proud of. It isn't fluffy material.The ball and string puzzle I pictured is one I am keen to make and try. We have been to several children's and science museums that have had that puzzle and I have yet to solve it. It's tough!I cannot speak for all of their issues, but this one is a real gem and I love it.
This magazine has a lot to offer. It has articles with and without pictures, puzzles and guessing games. It's great for my 9 year old. Even my 14 year old might get interested. It's a perfect way to get my girls reading magazines. It's a very interesting issue.
Plenty to read and plenty to do in this magazine. It's a great idea for things in the car, waiting at the doctor's office, or anytime you want your kid to do something more stimulating.The stories and articles are relatable, digestible, and inspiring for a young audience and we're perfect for my 7 y/o daughter!
