FamilyFun [MAGAZINE SUBSCRIPTION] [PRINT] Reviews
I know this is a review for the mag – but so many comments on magazines are complaining about their arrival time (this one too) that it may be useful – ordered 4/11/08 – delivery estimate 7/11/08. First magazine arrived 5/5/08 – e.g. less than a month after ordering!
I have had Family Fun in the past. It is a really nicely done (Disney owned) magazine – hence the re-order. The one thing I like about this magazine is that you do not have to be rich to utilize most of their suggestions/ideas. The crafts are cute and usually realistic for the recommended ages. There are often ideas that are suitable for the whole 3+ family. Many issues have spotlights on travel and things to visit – they change location and don’t focus on all the hot spots all the time. For instance, I learned about Safari West – a Safari “zoo” near Santa Rosa, CA – not exactly a typical tourist trap (at least for kids). It does have a Disney slant – which can be a good thing (wholesome etc…) but don’t expect a great deal of focus on diversity or multicultural suggestions (e.g. activities/places to visit). Look at this magazine basically true to its title – focusing on things families can do together.
I first saw this magazine in doctors’ offices and browsed through it. I loved it and I don’t even have kids! I have given subscriptions as gifts to friends who do, though, and they love it. It has great – and simple – ideas for activities, recipes, advice, you name it. Give it a try, I think you’ll agree.
As a stay at home mom and the leader for my daughter’s Brownie troop, this magazine is worth every cent. Tons of games and craft ideas that are super cheap and lots of fun. There isn’t an article or idea that I skip. I have had a hard time with finding magazines that fit in my lifestyle lately. As much as I love some gossip and beauty ideas like every woman, my life is more geared towards raising my kids and having fun with them. I have found this magazine is great for all family life and it is something I can safely leave on the living room table. My 7yr old daughter flips thru for recipes and craft ideas too! The only other magazine that I love as much as this is All You. Highly recommend both for stay at home moms.
