Do any of you mommas subscribe to Your Big Backyard magazine? It's the National Wildlife Federation's magazine for 3-7 year olds (the younger companion to Ranger Rick magazine). My kids love it.
It's on my mind today because I just started writing little songs for them that appear in the back of the magazine. I've been writing poems for them for years, but this is a new twist. It's tough to come up with nature rhymes that match familiar song tunes, but it's really silly fun.
Check out the magazine's website at:

I've always like them too... when my son was young (he's 33 now), we subscribed to Ranger Rick...
Thanks for reminding about the Carus Corp.'s magazines... I might have to pick one up next time I go to the bookstore...

Good choice, LeslieAnne! I have always thought that they are THE BEST magazines for kids (ever since I read Ranger Rick as a kid). The Carus Corp. has some good ones too (Babybug, Ladybug, Spider, Cricket, etc.), but the National Wildlife Federation has the market cornered on outdoor education.

Hi Jen,
Glad you posted this... I gave my 3 year old grandson a subscription to Your Big Backyard last Christmas... I haven't read it myself in a long time, but maybe I should...
The year before, I gave him Wild Animal Baby, NWF's magazine for even younger kids...
