NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC KIDS is a periodical geared in creating a sense of wonder in children ages 6 - 14. With sections titled “Weird but true” and “Astonishing Stories From the Files of Guinness World Records”, kids will be compelled to look further into the facts that are given to locate more information on the topics. Every article pulls the reader into the story and most contain real life photographs that will capture the reader’s attention. The issues also come with ideas for family projects, an “Art Zone” section where reader’s original drawings are showcased, various games and puzzles. The web site is advertised within the publication with ideas on things to do on the site, such as playing interactive games, fining more craft ideas, and watching videos pertaining to articles featured in the publication. Information can be easily located for subscribing to the magazine and with very minimal advertisements found within, this is truly geared to the child reader.
