    Empowering, Informative, and Fun!

    I purchased a subscription and several back issues for my 7 year old daughter and we have both enjoyed the creative activities, empowering stories, comics, and fun facts. The magazine is well designed and a pleasure to spend time with. I recommended this magazine to my local library and hope they subscribe so more kiddos can enjoy kazoo!

    Empowering Magazines for Girls

    The girl power issue alone is amazing, but all 4 of these magazines are a hit with me & my 6 and 8-year-old daughters. My kids immediately read aloud their favorite passages, like the female athlete comic and the animal facts that redefine power to include stereotypically feminine attributes. There are so many fun, encouraging activities in these magazines that my kids have gotten hours of entertainment and more importantly, a boost in self-confidence. I highly highly recommend for all the little future leaders in your life.

    Excellent Magazine for girls or boys!

    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.

    We are definitely getting a subscription!

    My 8 year old daughter received a couple issues for Christmas and she loves them. She keeps telling me how much she likes to look through them and do the activities. We made the star pops, which was fun. Her birthday is in March so it’s a perfect reason to buy her a subscription. She LOVES science, art, and cooking so this magazine is right up her alley. Thanks Erin and team, for all of your dedication that goes into making a great magazine!

    Engaging kids magazine

    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

    Nice quality ****/teen magazine

    This is a great magazine for kids ages 9-14. The articles are interesting and my kiddo liked doing the puzzles inside. Overall, the quality of the magazine is high: nice paper, well thought out design, great articles and graphics. This makes for a nice gift.

    My 8 year old niece loved this

    My sister likes to get my niece girly stuff. Since I come from a household with a scientist and a nurse for parents so I like to get my niece things to inspire her. Besides some STEM gifts, I also ordered her this Girl Power issue of a magazine that I had not heard of before called Kazoo. I thought it was odd to buy a specific issue of a magazine, but it's more of a workbook, with lovely full color pictures, inspiring articles and little games. I have been told that gifting is one of my love languages, and this issue of Kazoo magazine really fit my style of gift giving. My niece loved it and had to be told to continue to open other presents after it. I hope that my niece realizes she can do anything she sets her mind to, and this cool magazine will hopefully help instill that spirit.

    Make some noise for this amazing variety magazine for young girls

    Once I explained to my 9-yo what a kazoo is (LOL kids these days), we were off on a great adventure of reading and learning. This was our first issue and it wont be the last, we are huge fans already. We keep this issue in the car so that there is always something stimulating and interactive on hand during short trips or waiting at the doctors, etc. The issue has a wide variety of formats and topics, including short articles, games, and puzzles reminscent of Highlighter or Ranger Rick magazine but with the focus on female stories and role models and with the aim of empowering young girls to shine their brightest and go make some noise!Impressive, high-quality printing and materials make this the kind of magazine that gets passed around to friends or gets forever-space on the bookshelf, not the kind of read-and-recycle kind of publication. She's a keeper!

    Fun magazine

    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.

    Great magazine

    This is a nice first magazine for girls. It has inspirational articles, a bit of science, a bit of brain teasers, fun pictures and interesting kid relatable stories. It's perfect for the car ride, during power outages or while waiting.

    Great for Younger Minds

    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!
