Children's magazine advice

[rendelharris]

Off to hospital this afternoon to see a friend's child who's been taken in with suspected appendicitis. Haven't time to get to a bookshop, obviously sweets not appropriate; I'm a bit out of touch with these things, could anyone suggest magazines (preferably stocked by DKH Sainsbury's as passing it on the way) that would be a hit with a bright, literate six-year-old girl? Any tips gratefully received!

Thanks,

Rendel

The various lego magazine versions should be fun, most magazines for that age are full of tat, but kids love it and it hopefully keeps her entertained a little...

Many thanks will be visiting again soon so will keep an eye out.

National Geographic Kids, perhaps. Games, quizzes, cool pictures of animals etc. Or any of the children's cartoon/TV programme characters with 'free' tat stuck to the front cover. They love that too.

anything with stickers and animals - keep her mind in a happy place

would they have colouring books and pens in Sainsbury's?

Okido is a lovely magazine...

Hotspur and Victor should do it. Not the Eagle though

Many thanks for all the suggestions, they sound great - I can see I shall have to spoil this child long after she's cured!

So far as I know you can only get it on subscription, not in shops?

I agree it's a great magazine for kids.

Rendel, you could ask the girl's parent/s for suggestions? Otherwise you could duplicate something she has already been given?

Agree. Whenever I have to buy a sprog a present I always ask their parents first, they usually know what their children like...

Yes quite right, usually would, but they're so traumatised at the moment - taking it in turns to sleep by her bed for the last week (it's been a bit more complex than originally thought) that they haven't much time to think of treats! Thanks again for all the kind suggestions, much appreciated.

Lego friends magazine?

Beano magazine is great and easy to find at newsagents or supermarkets. Junior Week is good, usually only stocked in WHSmith, not local newsagents.
