5.0 out of 5 stars Good Stuff! March 20, 2007

By S. Morris

Subscription Term Name:1 year

I'm very impressed. At first I was bummed because Grandma sent this and didn't listen to me. I wanted Ladybug for my 3 year old. I think this one has more content. We looked at a ladybug once and we keep coming back to the High Five because there is so much stuff to do in it. There's 34 pages in the March 2007 issue.

Here's the table of contents:

Let's Read Aloud together! 7 poems/stories of a variety of topics and art styles

Let's Puzzle it Out! 5 puzzles- a few are very easy so she feels successful but there are couple more challenging ones (but not too)

Let's Make Something! 3 crafts/recipes

Let's Move! 2 different activities

Very happy and looking forward to next month's magazine!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent educational tool that is fun, informative & stimulating! August 29, 2007

By Z Hayes HALL OF FAMETOP 50 REVIEWERVINE™ VOICE

I came across this wonderful magazine in the periodicals section of my local grocery store and was immediately taken by it...it says on the cover that it is "advertising-free" and that prompted me to take a look inside.

The magazine has an interesting & creative layout. The illustrations are bold, bright & beautiful, and the activities are age appropriate [target age group is 2-6 yrs]. My two and a half year old loves this magazine...I read the stories to her, and we do the activities like crafts & coloring together. An added bonus is that the pages are sturdier than your average magazine and will keep relatively well. The issues are all so beautiful that I will keep them for a few years, to be read and reread until my daughter outgrows them. And it truly is ad-free...a value buy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great magazine for 5-6 year olds!!! March 13, 2008

By J. Mitchell

I recently bought this magazine subscription for my 5ry old and I'm so glad I did! Just as with Highlights (for slightly older kids) this holds true to the simple values and gentle lessons of kindness, friendship...and learning, but on a little kid's level. My son just received his first two issues and they have yet to be removed from the living room...he looks at them daily...sometimes hourly!!! There are activities, stories (beginning phonics) and hidden pictures that keep him busy (and his brain working) for at least an hour at a time! This subscription gives any child the 'highlight' of going to the mailbox for HIS mail and he loves it. This subscription would make a great gift too! Well worth the money- I'll get it it again next year!
