Never heard of this! I would love to check it out. I have a 4yo and a 7yo who are obsessed with Mario/Sonic/Pokemon/Lego, so this seems to check many boxes!

Enough with the crappy plastic free gifts! I know that’s what makes my dc want to buy them but they’re so bad for the environment and get ignored after a couple of days anyway. So I’ve stopped buying them. Sorry, rant over, as you were!

I’ll give it a go because DS loves minecraft/sonic etc
But isn’t Fortnite rated 12? Why would they have stuff about it in a magazine for 7-12?

Nah. I have two kids in this age range.
There are so many brilliant publications out there for kids that don't rely on branded, screen-based, expensive toys/games for their content.
Why would I want to give them a magazine that (a) encourages them to spend more time staring at a screen and (b) encourages them to pester me to spend more money?

I can’t stand this magazine, full of plastic tat, not nearly as many activities as others, and it just feels like one long advert!

I was kinda hoping this would turn out to be some sort of low-brow punk indie magazine for children... what a bizarre name for one of those brand-toy ones.
