I’ve yet to break into the Fun for Kids magazine group but there is always hope especially now that the 2016 themes are listed on their site. If you aren’t familiar with this magazine group there are three magazines — Hopscotch for girls, Boys’ Quest for boys, and activity-driven Fun for Kids. This publisher only wants nonfiction which is amazing news for some of us. Here are the new theme lists:
Hopscotch:
Babies and Babysitting Feb 2016
Frogs, Toads, Salamanders April 2016
Ice Cream June 2016
Mysteries August 2016
Friends October 2016
Castles and Princesses Dec. 2016
Boys’ Quest:
Weird and Wacky Feb 2016
Communication April 2016
Summertime June 2016
Birds August 2016
Wheels October 2016
Unique Careers Dec. 2016
Fun for Kids:
Music Jan. 2016
Fun with Food Mar 2016
Wild Animals May 2016
Water July 2016
Fall Fun Sept. 2016
Family Nov. 2016
You’ll find complete guidelines on the Fun for Kidz site and when you pop over there, double check the theme list. One of the things that I like best about this magazine group is that they delete themes from the list as the issue fills up.
Which themes are you going to try? I’m tempted to try Castles and Princesses although I know that if they want the traditional princess, I’m going to be way off base!
