The Week Junior Magazine Subscription (age 8-14) Christmas Giveaway

My 9 year old loves facts. He gets a lot of pleasure from knowing everything and telling me things I don't know. For the last month we've been receiving a copy of the weekly young people's current affairs magazine The Week Junior and he's read each issue cover to cover.

Your children will hear or read some adult news coverage and this can be scary or confusing for them. It's often hard to know exactly what they've picked up on and how they feel, so it's difficult to know what you should tell them or bring up to discuss.

The Week Junior is pitched at the right level that they will learn the facts and the background and not just the scandalous headlines and terrifying soundbites.

Amazing! Magazine Review - for children aged around 6-12

Every single month, as if by some sort of magic, my 8 year old will say "is it Amazing! Magazine time yet?" and within 2 days it'll pop through the letterbox. He loves it, and when he's read it, his 7 year old brother takes his turn.

Full of all the sorts of facts that young children enjoy, in a comic book style with puzzles, stories and quizzes, Amazing! Magazine cleverly and discreetly labels every article and activity according to National Curriculum subjects, and you can soon spot the links between what they learn as they read and what they are learning in school.

Okido Children's Magazine Christmas Giveaway age 3-8 (2 Winners)

I like to support the underdogs, and Okido deserves support. An arts and science magazine aimed at children aged 3-8, we've had a few copies now, and my boys have always enjoyed reading it and working through the activities, even though they've never actually seen the accompanying CBeebies show 'Messy Goes To Okido'.

There are 6 issues of Okido Magazine each year, and an annual subscription costs only £19.99 by Direct Debit, or you can buy the magazines individually at £4 each. That price is very reasonable for a nice thick magazine which is crammed full. On the front of each issue it tells you what's inside "Stories, Activities, Games, Doodles, Recipe and a Poem".

Adventure Time Magazine Review

My family are big fans of the Cartoon Network show Adventure Time. The older children introduced us to it several years ago and it was a pleasure to have them watch something that the adults could appreciate too. The tragic backstories (poor, poor Marceline) and the fact these characters were each left alone, in a world where little makes sense, give Adventure Time a depth unusual to a largely children's TV Show.

Adventure Time is the first to arrive. There are 13 issues a year delivered to your home address by Magazine.com, so you don't need to remember to pick it up from the newsagent.
