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!

It's been going for nearly 20 years, ths name has always put me off.

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.
