Good magazine subscription for age 5-8?

[Gentlygently]

Looking for something they will like and I will approve of! So minimal plastic tat, advertising or character stuff. Any recommendations?

Yep The Phoenix. It's a huge hit in this house with nearly 7 and 5 year olds. It's the first thing they ask for after school on a Friday afternoon.

My son(7) had the phoenix in the summer and looked forward to receiving it every week. I recently bought him a beano and he said he liked that even better - Nanna and grandad are going to buy him that on subscription

Definitely Phoenix, my son looks forward to it every Friday!

Thank you! Unanimous :)

National Geographic (the children's version!), if they like that sort of thing.

Got to be the Phoenix. My son still hasn’t grown out of it at 11, and actually I love reading it too. It’s funny, clever and has some fantastic artwork.

Beano, The Week Junior and Nat Geo kids in our house. Plus Match of the Day etc. football magazines. DS is at the top of your age range though so some may be slightly too old.

Yep, my 7yo loves The Phoenix too. He's after some of the collections for Xmas.

Phoenix magazine is really good.

Phoenix magazine are doing an offer of first 4 editions for £1 each. Have signed up on the strength of this thread and their offer!

If the kids like it maybe the grandparents might like to get them a subscription for Christmas or something...

We get Aquilla monthly for our 10 year old and he loves it.

(Nut it's too old for our nearly 6 yr old.)

The Phoenix really is great 😄, but I see everyone else beat me to it.

My son loves the national geographic kids magazine

My DD gets the Jaqueline Wilson magazine delivered, she absolutely loves it- tends to come with a book, stationery etc sometimes sweets.
