Family Fun

What does family fun mean to you? Crafts? Recipes? Party ideas? Travel tips? Family Fun magazine dishes up these and more boredom-defying activities in over 180 splashy, colorful pages. Geared toward parents with young children, this energetic magazine promises to enrich the lives of families. Offering a "we've been there, we know" sort of comfort to parents, folksy first-person articles let parents know they're not alone. A sense of community is expanded further in the "My Great Idea" section--culled from readers' letters--that suggests kid-tested ideas for everything from summer games to rainy-day projects. Homeschoolers will find plenty to ponder as well--a winter issue, for example, describes how a snowflake takes shape, then suggests a paper snowflake-making project. Reviews of digital games, books, videos, and DVD's, written by industry experts, help parents feel up to the minute. Family Fun is positively inspirational to parents who want to shake up the routine and keep the magic in a family. (Issues per Year: 10)
