I am looking for cool mag subscriptions for my 4 year old. she's really bright and learning to read.she loves animals and bugs,.. nature in general and also geography, she is very feminine too. any ideas??

We like Highlights, My Big Backyard and Ranger Rick. No ads (very important to me ~ My Mom got them National Geographics Kids and I hate all of the candy and video game ads), lots of interesting reading.

I adore My Big Backyard..Eli's grandmother gets it for him..the pictures are wonderful!! This month was a lot of spiders..pretty neat :D

There's also LadyBug magazine..and Highlights *I* grew up with and loved :D

my kids love highlights. i get them sometimes in bulk at thrift stores and they zip through them. spend hours with them, lol.

i also love ranger rick.

Excellent! Thank you!
Meeshi- I almost just sent in the sub card for the nat.geographic one:rolleyes: I didn't know it had ads. I don't want ads for sure. Are any of the ones mentioned nature themed??

My Big Backyard and Ranger Rick both have a lot of nature articles etc.

I'm glad you waited on the NGK. I thought it sounded ok when my Mom mentioned getting the girls a subscription but was *not* impressed.

The most recent mag has ads for Willie wonka candy, Froot Loops, Hubba Bubba gum, a few Nickelodeon shows and a few Playstation games.

I just had to shake my head when my Mom just mentioned signing them up for Nickelodeon magazine. Oy. I bet that's full of ads and cr@p.

yeah I bet the nickleodean one does. My older dd (12) watches that sometimes with her friends and it is full of commercial crap so im sure the mag is too:rolleyes:
im sitting here eating first crop organic blueberries...yum...my young dd spits the skin out all over..yuk...:p

We love zoobooks here and they have a new one for younger kids that I think we may get zootles (I think).

We get My Big Backyard, Zoobooks (which is probably too old for my 4 year old), and Ladybug

Spider
Ranger Rick
Highlights
Pockets (Christian)
They are all so expensive. We buy the ones our local library is getting rid of for 5-10 cents each. Then I just give her one a month or so :)

We get My Big Backyard and I plan on subscribing to Kid's Discover in a couple of months.

I have a subscription to NG for Kids and am honestly very disappointed in it. I expected something with lots of cool info, facts, and things for Aidan to learn. Instead it's mostly junk. :(

I just ordered My Big Backyard for him because he loves Ranger Rick but it's a little too much for him outside of looking at the pictures.

Also, I order most of my mags through either discountmags.com or bestdealmagazines.com There are some really great deals on there at times. You just have to check once a month or so to catch the ones you want.
