They have stories, songs, Spanish, seek and find, find the silly things and a recipe in each book! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/magazine-subscriptions-for-kids#post-1212615 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 06:09:58 +0000 honeybear 1212615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>To report back: We like NatGeo Little Kids. It has a few elements in it that are probably of more interest to children older than 2-3yo, but it's solid and I'm happy with my purchase. LO has taken to "reading" on his own lately, and when the magazine shows up, he'll take it and flip through it, examining the pictures. I call that a success! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/magazine-subscriptions-for-kids#post-1212597 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 04:35:08 +0000 Dandelion 1212597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS gets Highlights. He's also in the Lego club but that magazine is free. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/magazine-subscriptions-for-kids#post-1212445 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 22:41:20 +0000 immabeetoo 1212445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bump! we just got our first issue of babybug for LO's birthday present from my mom! Sooo cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/magazine-subscriptions-for-kids#post-678039 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 16:14:39 +0000 T-Mom 678039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We get High Five, which is part of the Highlights family, and used to get Ladybug. Both are great for reading aloud! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/magazine-subscriptions-for-kids#post-678008 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 15:41:13 +0000 Mrs. Twine 678008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeybear; thanks! I think I'll check it out at the library (if I can) before we commit. The photographs are just excellent, aren't they? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/magazine-subscriptions-for-kids#post-678000 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 15:36:52 +0000 honeybear 678000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Monkula: I briefly looked at NatGeo Little Kids in the library. It looked a bit like some topical books we have from them, so when it went on sale on a flash sale site, I got a subscription. It hasn't come yet, but it should be here in a week or two. </p> <p>Here's the NGLK website, it looks like the magazine is similar to the books (below is the Amazon link to a book we have): <a href="http://kids.nationalgeographic.com/kids/littlekids/" rel="nofollow">http://kids.nationalgeographic.com/kids/littlekids/</a>.</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/National-Geographic-Readers-Melissa-Stewart/dp/1426306520/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1364589173&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=national+geographic+dolphins" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/National-Geographic-Readers-Melissa-Stewart/dp/1426306520/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1364589173&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=national+geographic+dolphins</a></p> <p>The books are definitely geared toward elementary students, but LO likes the pictures, which are up to NG standards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/magazine-subscriptions-for-kids#post-677991 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 15:24:29 +0000 Mrs. Twine 677991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We like BabyBug. It has a nice mix of illustration types, songs, finger plays, rhymes, and stories. Lowly is a medium-ish book hater (booo! hiss! I'm not sure if we're even related!) and it is one that she actually enjoys. She likes so few books that we test ones out from the library and then pretty much immediately buy them if she doesn't try to escape at story time. What is the Nat'l Geo Kids like? They used to have an Animal Babies one we found at the library and she loves the photographs and search-and-finds, but it seemed like maybe the new incarnation was geared towards older kids... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/magazine-subscriptions-for-kids#post-677989 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 15:21:40 +0000 anonysquire 677989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>American girl magazine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/magazine-subscriptions-for-kids#post-677981 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 15:13:33 +0000 honeybear 677981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@umlo: My LO is 2.5 years old. We just subscribed to NatGeo Little Kids. It hasn't come yet, so I'm not sure if it's good, but we like those $4 "books" they put out on topics like dolphins and turtles, so hopefully it will be a lot like those! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/magazine-subscriptions-for-kids#post-677973 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 15:04:36 +0000 umlo 677973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@honeybear: oh I will have to check those out! Our LO is 3. We just introduced her to magazines since she picked up my guilty pleasure of US magazine! Lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/magazine-subscriptions-for-kids#post-677963 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 14:56:31 +0000 honeybear 677963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How old are your children? I loved Cricket as a child, and they have a couple other titles for different age groups. LadyBug is aimed at younger children and there's even one for babies. BabyBug is kind of cute--we check it out from the library once and a while. It's like a board book. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/magazine-subscriptions-for-kids#post-677912 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 14:25:36 +0000 umlo 677912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know of Highlights, Lego Club Jr., Disney Jr., National Geographic Kids. Are there any other good ones? </p>
