Often when we are in the doctor’s office, we see Highlights.  For many of your who are in my age range, we all pretty much remember Highlights.  It is one of the few magazines that is for children and is educational.  My only issue with Highlights is that it is for old kids, and I have younger ones.  When I found out that Highlights now makes High Five, I was estatic.  High Five is for preschool age children, and it is a huge hit in my house.  When Madison’s magazine comes, she literally will spend an hour flipping through it herself on the chair.  That is even before we sit down together to do some of the activities!  I love that it is right at her level.  You aren’t going to find a small business for sale or a crossword puzzle. Instead, there are stories and activities that you can do with with your children.  In my latest issue, we learned how to make bathtub crayons and chocolate covered bananas.

If you are needing a gift for a preschool age child or have on yourself, make sure you subscribe to High Five.  It is the only magazine I have seen on the market for that age group, and you know it is quality since it is made by Highlights!

My mom got me a subscription to Readers Digest for Christmas. I love this magazine. It usually comes in the mail with all my furniture catalogs. It has lots of short stories and I love the jokes that you can read in there. I have some of stories I should send in. If they do publish your story, they pay you money which I think is awesome. They have some great investigative reporting too. I know each month I get this I have it read in the first day. The price is great and you can often send a free gift subscription to your family and friends.
