Seven Fabulous Christian Children's Magazines

I love magazines. They're like dessert–graphic, engaging, and fun to read. My kids have picked up my love of magazines from me (and who doesn't love receiving mail?), and I thought I'd share my favorite Christian children's magazines with you. (Full disclosure: I've written for a number of these magazines.)

If you're looking for magazines for teens, jump over to Thinking Kids and check out Christian Magazines for Middle and High School Students.

Without further ado, here are seven magazines you'll want to check out if you have kids under the age of twelve.

Keys for Kids

Keys for Kids contains short daily devotionals for families with a story and verse to discuss. The issues arrive quarterly. Keys for Kids is free for both the email and the print versions.

Focus on the Family's Clubhouse Jr.

Clubhouse Jr. for ages 3-7 is a well-produced, high-quality monthly magazine. With stories, activities, recipes, and a story about the Bible, I highly recommend this resource for households with young children!

God's Big WORLD

For kids under seven, God's Big WORLD is a fun look at current events and news from a Christian worldview. As avid readers of WORLD Magazine, this kids' edition gave our children a way to study the world as well! They loved their copy every time it came.

WORLDkids

7-10 year olds can learn more about current events and world-wide issues from a Christian worldview. This was previously God's World News. We love WORLD Magazine for adults, and our kids have enjoyed moving through the levels of WORLD's magazines for kids.
