Are their any others that you would recommend?

Okido

Children's magazines, Featured, Headline, Magazines and blogs,

DD2 has just received her first issue of Okido, the arts and science magazine for kids.

She is 3 and has enjoyed reading through it together. Her 7 year old sister is jealous and keeps walking off with it.
The illustrations are beautiful and very varied. The writing has them both engaged. Each themed issue, our first is biodiversity, includes stories, facts, puzzles, comic strips, things to make, games and puzzles. It is quirky and very different to mainstream mags.
Thoroughly recommend it.

1st issue of EOS – Education Outside School

Home education, Magazines and blogs,

The first issue of the eagerly awaited home education magazine EOS is now out.

It’s available in an online format only, at www.educationoutsideschool.co.uk, free of charge. It is hoped that it will be a much needed resource for new and experienced HE families, but something which also makes an informative and valuable contribution to how HE is seen in the UK, and beyond – a step towards normalising home ed and give it a more positive image.

Adventure Box

Magazines and blogs

This post http://www.bambinogoodies.co.uk/bayard-books/ has just reminded me to renew E’s lapsed subscription for Adventure Box.
And I think I’ll get T the Story Box too.
E loves her ones so much that she sleeps with them under her pillow! When going to bed, or on waking in the morning she often settles down with one of them and reads it to herself. She is really missing the excitment of having her magazine fall through the letter box and having us read her the latest chapter story right through as soon as possible.
