I don’t know about you guys, but I’m always on the search for quality reading material for my children. As an educator and homeschool mom, I strive to promote literacy by exposing my children to a variety of print, including books, newspapers, and magazines. 

The trouble with magazines and newspapers is the advertisements. I no sooner hand over a magazine than my kids are requesting some new fangled, usually noisy, toy.

And, as the parent of three sensitive children, I am constantly on the hunt for magazines that are free of anything scary. 

I am overjoyed when I find a quality, wholesome magazine that all of my children can enjoy without the advertisements.

Recently, I was introduced to an amazing company that has three wholesome magazines, sans-ads!

*Disclosure: I received 9 Fun for Kidz magazines at no cost and was compensated for my review. I was not required to write a positive review. As always, all thoughts are my own and I only share products that I believe others would love and those that I would use with my own family.

Fun for Kidz: Wholesome magazines for children without the advertisements

Fun for Kidz offers three magazines: Hopscotch for Girls, Boys’ Quest, and Fun for Kidz. These magazines are wholesome, educational, and ad-free.

The day that the magazines arrived at my house was a happy one, folks! The mailman delivered them just before quiet time- talk about perfect timing!

We received three issues of each magazine, so each kiddo was able to pick three to read during quiet time. Having already researched the company, I felt confident knowing that I could let them read without concern that there would be BIG worries to contend with that evening!

Miss T was so excited that she could read these magazines independently! She had to share a few facts with me before heading to her room for quiet time.

You know that you have a winner when your children elect to extend their quiet time. They did not appear in my kitchen until they had finished their respective magazines!

Hopscotch For Girls ­

Hopscotch for Girls is geared toward girls in elementary and middle school. T enjoyed these magazines, which were filled with stories, educational content, arts and crafts, recipes, drawing lessons, and puzzles, among other topics. T has been interested in drawing lately and she especially appreciated the drawing lessons in all the magazines, not just Hopscotch for Girls.

 

My sweet T has so enjoyed these magazines that she keeps a stack on her nightstand. Fun for Kidz are the first magazines that she has been able to read by herself!

Boys’ Quest ­

Boys’ Quest magazine is geared toward ages 6-14 years. These magazines are jam-packed with educational material and stories that inspire exploration and adventure, in addition to puzzles, games, cartoons, jokes, and drawing lessons.

Fun For Kidz ­

Fun for Kidz offers a huge variety of reading and educational activities. Each issue combines various articles and projects within a given theme. For example, one of our issues was about rodents. My boys loved this topic, folks!

Fun for Kidz in your homeschool

I have used Fun for Kidz at home as a way of determining, and building upon, T’s reading comprehension. Leo has used a couple of the magazines as part of his animal study research for our book club, and he’s been compiling jokes for a friend.

Here are some other ways we’ve used Fun for Kidz over the past couple of months:

• Quiet time
• Roadtrips
• Waiting rooms
• Restaurants
