School is out for most students and I'm all for summer fun. This season is a time to relax and unwind. I absolutely encourage play but also believe that learning doesn't have to be put to the wayside just because school is out of session.
Learning doesn't have to be boring. Cricket Media® is a global children’s learning company known for creating print and multi-media products for families, teachers, and partners that improve the opportunity to learn for all. My teens received three magazine samples from Cricket Media and they have enjoyed learning while reading the interesting articles.
BABYBUG Magazine - Share the joy of reading - Ages under 3
CLICK Magazine - Explore science and nature - Ages 3-6
LADYBUG Magazine - Encourage playfulness and creativity - Ages 3-6
ASK Magazine - Investigate kids' questions about the world - Ages 6-9
SPIDER Magazine - Smart, fun inspiration for new readers - Ages 6-9
CRICKET Magazine - Discovering the world of reading - Ages 9-14
COBBLESTONE Magazine - Connecting America's past and present - Ages 9-14
DIG INTO HISTORY Magazine - Uncover the past and its traces today - Ages 9-14
FACES Magazine - New perspectives on other cultures, and our own - Ages 9-14
MUSE Magazine - Fun science and tech for the seriously curious - Ages 9-14
CICADA Magazine - Reflections of authentic teen experiences - Age 14+
I can't vouch for all of the magazines, but the three we received were very interesting. I'll be honest and say I wasn't a big fan of the cover art on them; I did not feel they were inviting to a person who may be a new subscriber and not know what the content was about. With that said, the contents and stories inside the magazines were fascinating. The pictures and illustrations were as well. I give huge bonus points to the fact that the magazines are free from advertisements. Each magazine subscription offers nine issues a year.
Here's some insight on the content inside the sample magazines I received:
COBBLESTONE Magazine (May/June 2017 issue) - There was an extensive overview of The Great War, including a map showing the war zones. There were interesting facts and information regarding war in general, and a story on the "Spanish Influenza" pandemic.
MUSE Magazine (May/June 2017 issue) - This magazine starts off with letters written in by readers and answered by contributors. Much of the capacity of this issue revolved around water and things water-related. I learned something new when I read the article on tardigrades, which are small invertebrates. I didn't even know they existed till now! There's also talk on the many benefits of drinking water.
CICADA Magazine (May/June 2017 issue) - This issue revolves around poetry, satire, and stories. Readers will be enveloped in rich words and storytelling. All of the pages were in black and white.
The magazine covers and pages are glossy. They can be passed around and re-read several times without them falling apart.
Win It!
Two people will each win a one-year subscription to the Cricket Media magazine of choice.
