Family Fun Magazine Review

This is my favorite magazine.  I love crafts and am always looking for new, fun ideas.  I am always anxiously awaiting the new issue.  For Halloween I made spiders using Tootie Pops for my youngest daughter's kindergarten class.  They were a huge hit.  Some of my favorite sections are: My Great Idea, where other readers share thier best ideas; Family Traditions, where families share their greatest traditions with you; Mom of the Month, where you meet an extraordinary reader; Let's Cook, always has fun food ideas.  My kids love the 'Try This Now' page which has a cool project to try every month.  In between issues or when I am bored or need a new idea I check out Familyfun.com.  From the latest issue here are 10 things you can do online at Familyfun.com this holiday season.
