Do any of you mommas subscribe to Your Big Backyard magazine? It's the National Wildlife Federation's magazine for 3-7 year olds (the younger companion to Ranger Rick magazine). My kids love it.

It's on my mind today because I just started writing little songs for them that appear in the back of the magazine. I've been writing poems for them for years, but this is a new twist. It's tough to come up with nature rhymes that match familiar song tunes, but it's really silly fun.

Check out the magazine's website at:

I recommend this for your own kids, or as gifts for nieces or nephews, etc.

I used to order this for my stepson when he was little, and years later, for our grandson. I always thought it was a neat magazine for kids, and especially nice for a kid to get "his own" mail occasionally, too.

Jen, it's nice to know you are involved in such a neat magazine.

We get it too. It's a great gift to give. We always struggle with where to put the truck load of toys that the kids recieve for Christmas and birthdays. The magazine is a welcome change. And my son LOVES getting somthing in the mail.
