Nat Geo Kids: Benefitting military kids!

Customer service contacted me to make sure we received the nat geo kids despite being at a BFPO location. Really helpful for children in the military community. The webinars are brilliant and my daughter looks forward to them and learns a lot! Sometimes I even sit back and learn something!

Great Read

My grandson is thrilled with his magazine & looks forward to receiving it every month.
I have, however, unsubscribed from mailing list as too many e mails were coming through to me.

GreAt magazine, shame it is so difficult to get a seamless upgrade to the next level.

The magazines are full of great information and challenges for the children. However we tried to switch from little kids to kids magazine and the membership handover was a total mixup resulting in three months of both magazines being delivered resulting in a shortfall for the years quota of our kids magazine as the deliveries started early. This needs better coordination or a simpler option for changing from one age group to the next.

Miss 5 absolutely adores her NG Little Kids Magazine. The content and layout is very age appropriate for little ones with large colourful pictures and the wording is just long enough to give information without being too long so she loses interest.
My only complaints would be that the time frame from subscribing to receiving a magazine was REALLY long (about 6 weeks) and one of the magazines arrived without stickers included which was devastating for my daughter because at 5 years old stickers are life.

Hi Lauren, thank you for your review, it's great to hear your little one is enjoying the magazine. We'd love to put right the lack of stickers in one of the issues you received please could you email help@ngkids.com.au with your details along with the issue number that was missing the stickers and we'll get back to you. Many thanks, Jade - NG KiDS

Great little magazine for little kids, our 4yo loves it

We've subscribed to National Geographic Little Kids since March so we've received 4 magazines so far. We really like that we receive it in the mail with our child's name on the envelope. The content is great and I'm sure our child (just turned 4) will get more interested in the actual contents as he grows. So far he is way more excited in using the stickers and doing the games (as opposed to learning about the animals) but that's totally age-appropriate and he engages with the magazine repeatedly over time. We like it. Thank you.

Best Christmas present!

Receiving the National Geographic Kids magazine in the post each month is a highlight for my 10 and 8 year old. Easy way to help encourage reading without it feeling like a chore. It has been a Christmas present that has kept on giving.

Top tier language development

I am a paediatric speech pathologist in Australia and I am constantly blown away by the quality of this magazine for early learning. I highly recommend this magazine for the fun and engaging language and literacy opportunities throughout each issue.

Perfect 5th birthday gift for curious boy

My son is naturally curious about animals, particularly marine creatures, and this was the perfect gift for his 5th birthday! He looks forward to each new issue, reading as much as he can independently and doing the stickers and activities. The issues arrive fairly soon after dispatch emails too.
