Fun to read... fun to do...

2005-09-17
Promotes learning about animals, health, science and activities within eight issues per year.

The first page of the Children's Playmate Magazine is the contents page. This is broken down into two sections. The first section is called Fun to Read. In this category you will find lines that rhyme, jokes and riddles, the lost and found and Ask Dr. Cory.

The second category is called Fun to Do with recipes, connect the dots, and pictures by playmates. This is a publication of the Children's Better Institute.

Each story has vibrant colors with nice artwork to help the young child along with the story who cannot yet read. The word search is on the same topic and they publish the answers later in the magazine. The two page Pictures by our Playmates are sent in by the readers. These will not be returned and it is advised to draw them on white paper.

The Ask Dr. Cory column about three questions on two pages with cartoon pictures showing the explanation to the question. How do bones heal, how many shots do I need a year and how do you get appendicitis? The option to send in your request or email a question to askdrcory@childrensplaymatemag.org. The last page is a dot-to-dot.

For a child that likes to look at pictures, read along with photos, draw, color, laugh, and connect the dots, this would be a perfect magazine to subscribe to in their name.

With a subscription you continue the learning process during the months there is no school, learn about the seasons, fruit and vegetables, sports and animals. I do not see this as being a gender based magazine and noticed quite a few girls drawings, jokes, poems and riddles sent in as well.

Fun Magazine, Age Appropriate, No Ads

2004-05-01
Children's Playmate delivers quite a bit of content that is age appropriate and fun for my first grader. He enjoys the activities and stories. He does most of his independent reading in the children's magazines we get him, so this has definitely enriched his reading development.

Highly recommend this magazine. We also get Jack and Jill (his favorite) and US Kids!
