If your little sportsman has been swiping Dad’s Sports Illustrated, maybe it’s time for his own subscription to SI Kids! I love the funny interviews with the pro athletes, and the messages are all positive.

If you’ve ever been to an American Girl store, or seen any of the books, you know how wholesome but realistic these girls and their stories are. There’s nothing objectionable here, and pre-teen girls are hopelessly addicted.
There are literally hundreds more magazines for kids, but these are the ones mine like most… and that I like most, too! Which of these do you get for your kids? Or is there another magazine they love? Please let me know!
