| DiamondLynn's Full Review: Sesame Street Magazine |
We were in our yard last October setting up our "haunted house" for halloween. I was having some difficulty getting the 12 foot black widow to arch her leg properly and my husband was trying to get the tombstones to stand upright.
We were both ready for a break, so when a small girl and her mother came by selling magazines for her school we were happy to stop our "work".
We sat in the yard and looked over the choices and picked out Sesame Street. We had forgotten all about it until it finally arrived in the mail in late December.
Now, if you drive by our home on any given night and peek through the window you are likely to see(ahem..if you peek before the baby is in bed anyway) our little family hopping on one foot, playing ring around the rosie or pin the pepperoni on the pizza or some other Sesame silliness!
Sesame Street magazine has a wonderful index, it starts off just like the famed show letting you know what number and letters have sponsored the issue.
There are pages to connect the dots, color, tell stories, mazes, party games, create, count and learn letters.
The magazine has some wonderful posters suitable for the diaper set's room and some easy recipes fit for little hands.
It has things to share with others, pages to learn about animals and most importantly learn manners and sharing. In the December issue there were pages showing how to write thank you notes.
My favorite feature of each magazine is the calendar included that has a silly thing to do or learn each day!
Last week it instructed us to take a winter walk one day, count to 6 in Spanish, help make your bed, national hugging day. This week we will learn to balance on one foot and wear mittens on our ears and socks on our hands!
Next month we will think of rhymes for snow and ice, try a new vegetable, and think of the silliest topping we can put on a pizza! The magazine challenges us as parents to challenge our toddler.
Each month when we receive our Sesame Street magazine we receive an issue of Sesame Street Parents magazine. This is a wonderful parenting magazine written to both mommies and daddies as an audience.
It has creative play ideas in it with detailed instructions and what your child will learn from the project. It has parent to parent where parents can share ideas as well as wonderful articles on how to talk to your toddler and discipline if needed. There are articles on how to choose the right school for your little one, travel tips and recipes.
Each and every page of both of these magazines is chock full of useful and fun information. Sesame Street has put our a truly fine product here. Inside the issue you can get a subscription card for as little as $1.49 per issue, I have read epinions that say if you check their website you can get it lower than that.
So...sign up and get ready for Monday the 29 th! Its "make up a silly song day!"
