I received 3 magazines; as follows:

Again on the front cover is a free gift; a Peppa pig explorer set- comprising of a magnifying glass. binoculars and 2 plastic bugs.
Inside the magazine are Peppa pig stickers, a story about butterflies, a page teaching where different animals live,a recipe and a counting game .
A 16 page nature workbook with counting,puzzles and colouring.
A spot the difference and a game to play.
Plus as if that wasn’t enough!) a hanging bird feeder to make.
Disclosure:I was gifted the magazines for the purpose of the review, but all opinions are my own.
All of the Redan fun to learn children’s magazines support the early years curriculum, making them a useful asset for settings, parents and carers of pre-school aged children.
And because they feature favorite children’s characters children will find learning fun ( which is exactly what it says on ‘the tin).’
I used a similar children’s magazine ( but nowhere near as good as these) to spend one-to- one time with my youngest son while his older siblings were in school.
As a former early years practitioner myself I can’t speak highly enough of the magazines, I am impressed with each one.
Buy them here
As always questions and comments are welcome.
Until next time.

Kids still LOVE getting mail! Magazine subscriptions are a great gift!
Totally agree, Michele
My kids always loved those magazines…
Mine too, Lydia, thanks for stopping by with your comment
My first reaction was that price seems a bit steep for a children’s magazine but after actually paying attention to what’s included that sounds pretty good #dreamteam
Yes, Jeremy, they are quite good value for money considering the amount of learning fun that they provide
These sound really good indeed! I love that they feature characters children know from TV or other media. #DreamTeam
