Okido – A kids magazine worth subscribing to

When I was little, I used to L.O.V.E getting magazines… I don’t know what it was about them that used to enchant me so. From comics as a little kid, to Just Seventeen when I was just a teenager, to Marie Clare and Vogue, and still now with The Simple Things and Mollie Makes. My girls are no different and love getting a magazine. From a Mama’s point of view, a lot of the magazines on the market for kids aren’t especially great and they cost a fortune. So magazines are a rare treat in my house {unless they buy them with their own money}.

We’ve just come across Okido Magazine, an arts and science magazine aimed at 3-8 year olds. It’s designed to engage young children in scientific discovery in the most fun and creative way. My girls love the bright, bold colours and the engaing activities. I love that it encourages them to <em>do</em>, that it is packed full of cartoons, cut out and makes, recipes and doodles. It entertains them for hours and you know that they’ve benefited from reading it. I could quite happily sit and flick through it myself!

A subscription  to Okido magazine is a great gift to give at Christmas. All kiddos love getting post, and getting a copy of this great magazine through their letter box every other month for a whole year is bound to win you some brownie points!!
