Do kids read magazines still? If so, any recommendations?

[Anonymous]

Do teens read magazines anymore? When my kids were younger they read Highlights Magazone but they have since outgrown it. My mom bought it and asked me for something more age-appropriate. Is there anything? My kids are 11 and 13 and both girls.

I don’t think so. I would maybe look into a subscription service instead that are tailored to their interests. This seems to be the modern version of magazines imo.

We get our kids magazines. Something about the feel of paper and something they can hold in their hands while taking a bath.

We also get the Post, NYTimes and WSJ delivered in paper form. Kids go over that while eating breakfast.

Do you have a link for The Maze. Google has a lot of similar options so I'm not sure what it is to look.

What are their interests? Mine do and are more likely to flip through a magazine in their rooms than read a book. They are specific magazines about specific hobbies. Not kid or teen specific magazines. They each currently have one subscription. Between my DS and DD they have chosen ones on biking, cooking, dogs, aircrafts, exercise/heath, cars, etc. over the years. I would say they switched from kid magazines to adult ones at about 9.

This started as us buying from a relative as a fundraiser years ago. Then ended up really liking having hard copies of something coming every month. They kept it up and average one subscription each per year.

There are lots of magazines for cooking and running/fitness. I would start with those. To be honest, mine liked the cooking ones the least and found it easier to look up a recipe. I just did a quick google search and there are lacrosse and Taekwondo magazines.

No, just to be more intelligent than you.
