My 8yo boy likes Discover magazine (science for a general audience) and Boy's Life.

DS 5 gets Highlights, Highlights Top Secret (which isn't exactly a magazine) and Lego Jr.

Was thinking about Muse or Odyssey but haven't gotten around to it

DeHe

National Geographic Kids, Muse, Zoo book, Our local zoo magazine, Science Today and American Girl.

DS is 6yo and gets spider, click, ask, national geo kids and lego/lego jr.

My DD reads all the New Yorker cartoons every week, asking for clarification on many. She also tries to come up with a caption for the cartoon contest every week! She reads my Martha Stewart Living and old Crickets. We liked Zoobooks pretty well.

Oh, and we get Nat Geo Kids, but neither of us are enthused about it.

11yo twins read: New Moon Girls (written BY girls for girls) and New Scientist.

National Geographic Kids, Owl, Lego Club and something called Wacky but True, which I think is from Australia. Also anything they find round the house that happens to have a crossword or sudoku in it.

Thanks for posting this thread - there are several magazines on here I'd never heard of and am going to look into for my gang

FWIW my ds11 likes Scientific American, Popular Science, Discover, and Imagine (through CTY). He also likes Boys Life (Boy Scouts mag). And... perhaps not terribly intellectually stimulating, but fwiw he also likes This Old House and Dwell

We just got our first copy of a magazine that's new to us yesterday, so the kids haven't had a chance to look at it yet, but it looks interesting to me (which is why I ordered it lol!), and I think will be interesting to my dd7 - Calliope, Exploring World History.

we had it as well as were also disappointed - it felt like a commercial - although sometimes there was some really good things in it, it just wasn't consistent.

Lego Club, scans Scientific American (likes graphics-heavy articles), Sports Illustrated Kids.

DS 14 reads National Geographic, Discover, Smithsonian, Time, The Economist, The Atlantic...subscription renewals were #1 item on his birthday gift request list. He's been reading all of these for years.

Discover and National Geographic

My students read a bunch of Calliope and other Carus Publishing magazines in our 6th grade world history class. They make it easy for kids to do research projects, especially since my school subscribes to the online archive of all their magazines. No pictures in the archive, unfortunately...

DS 4 loves PuzzleBuzz magazines- part of the Highlights group- mazes, visual puzzles, word search, etc.

DD9 loves Discovery Girls magazine.
DS3 loves Trains4kids and Thomas the Train magazines
