What are some good magazines that have crafts and recipes for kids besides Family Fun, Parenting and Child?

';Creative Steps'; is a great magazine. Its new (or maybe i've just missed it in the past) and i recently subscribed to it on www.isubscribe.co.uk but i'm sure its available in large shops like WHSmiths or Borders. Its crammed with good ideas for children aged upto 11 but i found most of the stuff suited under 8's. Hope this is helpful xWhat are some good magazines that have crafts and recipes for kids besides Family Fun, Parenting and Child?

What are some good magazines that have crafts and recipes for kids besides Family Fun, Parenting and Child?
Wondertime, its alright.





I wish they'd just bring back the Martha Stewart Kids. It was awesome, and of course as soon as I had kids, they stopped it.
My favourite is the (and don't laugh) but it is the ';girl scout handbook';


You can pick one up at used book stores, or resale shops.


They give you things to do that the girl scouts would have to do to earn badges...but they are really fun. One was for learning safety. You cut 15-20 pictures out of magazines that show safety - like seat belt = buckle your seat belt. or don't smoke picture. then you paste the pictures onto index cards. and make a 'matching card' with the words on one, picture on the other. mix up the cards, lay them face down, and take turns turning over 2 cards. If they match you get to keep them and go again.


Then there are other things like making a weather calendar, learning about clouds and rain, learning about money, sign language, first aid, gosh there are even recipes to make with your kids.





The other things I used ... go to your local library they have tons of books with crafts and cooking with children.
the nick jr. magazines
Highlights magazines always have a few fun crafts, and your child can enjoy the little stories and activities in them. They also have a version for younger kids (my 5 yo likes it.) It's called High Five.
I would just use Allrecipes.com for recipes and just use google to find different crafts for kids. The reason I rather use the web is because you can bookmark it and get back to it later. It's too much trouble to manage and store all the magazine clippings.
