Family Fun magazine provides a great package.  Fun ideas for kids like games, crafts, activities; ideas for traveling with kids; parenting tips ("it worked for me" from other parents), plus family friendly recipes.  No pretense.  It is from the Disney group, but does not shamelessly plug away at Disney, just a few media suggestions here & there.  Fun to read & tear up (I tear out handfuls of pages every month with good… read full review »

The only problem with this magazine is that there are only 10 issues a year, so each issue will leave you wanting more.  This is a great all-around family magazine because it features so many fun family ideas like crafts, meals and vacations.  If you are looking for more fun and creative ways to get your family together for some good fun, this magazine is a must read.  I am single, but I still love this magazine because I have found so many great tips, recipe ideas and fun crafts to do.  Just this Thanksgiving I made the cutest Pilgrim cupcakes that were featured in the… read full 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'… read full review »

Being a mom to 3 boys it's hard to find things to do with them that they don't deem "girly". But we do like to dabble in crafts now and again. It's something that even my 15 year old enjoys sometimes. — During the holidays especially, I like to make our own ornaments for the Christmas tree. So every year, the five of us make our own special ornament and a family ornament to put on the tree. And most often, Family Fun has the perfect craft idea for that years ornament idea. — I like the tips it gives to get out and get moving for fitness, but still make it fun for all. It is just… read full review »

I am a long-time subscriber to this magazine.  I started reading it when my daughter was little and I have found something useful in every issue.  The articles are ones that I can relate to and I have made many of the recipes.  I find myself turning to this magazine for ideas for birthday cakes and holiday crafts--the cakes I have made from this magazine have all been hits and were all very easy to make!  Many of the craft ideas are simple yet attractive and I love seeing the readers photos showing how their projects turned out.  I save every issue and look… read full review »

For the price of this magazine, I definitely get more than my money's worth. There are so many great ideas in each issue that I feel bad for not getting to do them all. Even when I don't have time to do anything in the issue, it's great fun to just read and look through. I especially enjoy the Halloween issue because they always have such fun ideas for making costumes and have great pictures. I'm always appreciative of the section where other parents can send in their own ideas. There's so much to this magazine that anyone, no matter what skill level she has, will be able to find something to… read full review »

I discovered this magazine about 3 years ago and noticed it had a lot of craft ideas.  I purchased as a gift for my daughter's Brownie leader.  She loved it, and used a few of the ideas with the troop.  I also bought a subscription for 2 years, but didn't renew again this year.  —  Great for:  Mom with young kids who love crafts, Brownie Girl Scout Leaders — Price: - Excellent bargin.  Definitely worth the money. —… read full review »
