Last weekend I was driving around with my nieces and nephews. When I got to their house, we picked up the mail; they immediately got excited and wanted to know if there was anything for them. Unfortunately for them, the stack was compiled with bills, a local newspaper, and coupons for the grocery store. I told them I would start mailing them letters. But, then I started researching online ideas and found a great offer from National Geographic Magazine. They offer a year of children’s magazines for only $15 and the best part is they have two different magazines, one for 3-6 year olds and one for 6-14 year olds. I know that my nieces and nephews will be looking forward to this magazine every month! Especially,because it is truly a fun and educational way to occupy children and get them excited to read about important issues that are written simply for their understanding. You can subscribe your children to the magazine through natgeomagazines. It is a great back to school surprise!
