If you have a small child, then you are faced with the question of how to captivate the child with reading children's literature or educational games. I want to recommend you a very good children's magazine from the Toloka Publishing House called "Sasha and Masha".
This magazine is suitable for both little girls and boys. Approximately it is designed for children 5-8 years old. This is an entertaining and very educational magazine for children. Despite its not very large volume, it is very informative. I would like to introduce you to its content.

REVIEW OF THE JOURNAL.
As they say, acquaintance with the magazine begins with its cover. The cover is very colorful and attractive. She is glossy. It has the name of the magazine, its number, a colorful drawing.
Each room has a gift for a child - a 3D toy and exciting travel around the world with the heroes of this magazine.
The pages of this magazine are made of fairly thick high-quality white paper. This issue was New Year's Eve, so the theme of the content of the issue is dedicated to the New Year. On the back of the cover there is information about the subscription of the magazine for the next year. There are here the conditions of the competition, which the publisher announced to its subscribers. I liked the snowman contest. Children are invited to make a snowman, take a picture of it and send it to the editor. the winner - the one whose snowman will be better than all, is waiting for a prize. Like a competition for the season. But in Ukraine this year there is no snow at all. I think the kids will be upset. who will not be able to fulfill this condition of the competition.
In the magazine there is also such a task that every child can complete. You need to light the Christmas tree, and for this you need to find the desired fragment in the picture.
I liked the comics in this magazine. Their theme is also New Year's and interesting. Even adults will be interested in reading and watching them. Therefore, I advise you to read them together with your children - it brings them together.
What child doesn't like to draw or color pictures? Here is a task that will be to the taste of children. you need not just draw and color, but also please.
An interesting craft in the form of a cute dog can be made thanks to these schemes. This new year has been declared the Year of the Yellow Dog. This dog can decorate a festive house, it can be placed under the Christmas tree. A very funny dog.
The middle of the magazine is made in the form of a wall calendar. This will be another gift for New Year. The calendar is very colorful and beautiful.
The task to find 10 differences in the picture is familiar to many and has become one of the favorite hobbies not only among children, but also among adults. Help your children find these differences in similar pictures. This helps to cultivate attention and observation.
All children love animals. We parents want to introduce them to this world. Such a heading about animals will expand their horizons. In this issue, children get to know the wolf. Very simple and interesting information about this forest animal is in this section.
And of course, the literary page is a good entertainment for children. Here you can read a short fairy tale or story. It's very entertaining. If your kids can't read, read to them yourself. And if they are learning to read, then start reading, and then when the child is interested, offer to read it yourself. This will improve your child's reading skills.
The last nice bonus of the magazine was paper dolls that need to be dressed. For this, various beautiful clothes are drawn that need to be cut out. This game is also familiar to many children.
I really liked the magazine. Even its name says that it will be interesting for both boys and girls. Reading it is interesting and enjoyable. The magazine has many bright illustrations.
This magazine can be purchased anywhere point of sale where magazines and newspapers are sold. It can also be ordered from the post office.

Search type
When writing a query, you can specify the way in which the phrase will be searched. Four methods are supported: search based on morphology, without morphology, search for a prefix, search for a phrase.
By default, the search is based on morphology.
To search without morphology, it is enough to put the "dollar" sign before the words in the phrase:

study *
To search for a phrase, you need to enclose the query in double quotes:

Not compatible with no-morphology, prefix, or phrase searches.
# study
grouping
Parentheses are used to group search phrases. This allows you to control the boolean logic of the request.
For example, you need to make a request: find documents whose author is Ivanov or Petrov, and the title contains the words research or development:
Approximate word search
For approximate search you need to put a tilde " ~ " at the end of a word in a phrase. For example:
bromine ~
The search will find words such as "bromine", "rum", "prom", etc.
You can optionally specify the maximum number of possible edits: 0, 1, or 2. For example:
bromine ~1
The default is 2 edits.
Proximity criterion
To search by proximity, you need to put a tilde " ~ " at the end of a phrase. For example, to find documents with the words research and development within 2 words, use the following query:
" research development "~2
Expression relevance
To change the relevance of individual expressions in the search, use the sign " ^
" at the end of an expression, and then indicate the level of relevance of this expression in relation to the others.
The higher the level, the more relevant the given expression.
For example, in this expression, the word "research" is four times more relevant than the word "development":
study ^4 development
By default, the level is 1. Valid values are a positive real number.
Search within an interval
To specify the interval in which the value of some field should be, you should specify the boundary values in brackets, separated by the operator TO.

Going with a five-year-old son to a clinic or just for some business that involves a trip by transport, we always take with us a new, yet unread issue of one of our favorite children's magazines and a box of colored pencils.
It helps a lot to have fun, interesting and useful time on a trip or while waiting for your turn. Therefore, now I want to talk about our most revered today periodicals.
Popular magazine for children 3-6 years old "Mishka Toptyzhka"
We first met "Mishka Toptyzhka" 2 years ago, and all this time at the beginning of each month we hurried to newsstand for a new number. But, unfortunately, since the summer of this year, we stopped purchasing it, as we began to notice that there was a simple reprinting of the issues of 2013 one to one, and we were already working on them. But, nevertheless, for those who have recently joined the cheerful and friendly company of the heroes of "Mishka Toptyzhka" or are just about to do it, I can say with confidence that this is a good choice.
At the beginning of each issue there is a detailed content of the materials grouped into thematic sections:
- "Funny stories";
- "Problems (for the study of shapes, shapes, colors) and coloring";
- "ABC and counting";
- "Game and Recipe";
- "For dads and moms" (a page for parents with tips and recommendations for the development and upbringing of children).
Informative facts and stories from the life of the animal world, as well as the section "The World Around Us" introduce young readers to the diversity of our planet. On the spread there are large coloring pages with game tasks.
High-quality thick paper of the magazine allows you to make various and pretty ones, which are sure to be present in every issue. If we recall the latest creations we made from “Bear Toptyzhka”, then these are funny photo frames, a giraffe stadiometer and a basket for sweets for Easter.
My son, along with the heroes of the magazine, with pleasure:
- solved logical and mathematical problems;
- solved themed sudoku;
- got acquainted with the alphabet and numbers;
- he listened and himself came up with interesting and fascinating stories from pictures;
- painted and crafted.
The magazine is just wonderful , great , quick wits and imagination ! The indicated age recommendations are quite consistent with the content of the publication.
Children's magazine "Razvivalki"
I'll start with the fact that each number oriented for children from 5 years old, develops a specific topic (for example, the topics of the latest issues - sports, Russian cities, music) - this is very convenient for those enthusiastic mothers who build classes according to the principle.
Each issue of the magazine opens and ends with a fascinating comic book, and inside the publication there are various entertaining tasks:
- find differences and fragments;
- draw and color;
- scanwords;
- Crosswords;
- filvords;
- digital and logical puzzles;
- labyrinths;
- puzzles;
- interesting stories;
- walking games;
- memory;
- culinary page.
The section "School of Magic" alternates with "Professor Mulkina's Laboratories", thanks to which my son and I first discovered the amazing world of magic and scientific discoveries two years ago.
The Cactus Encyclopedia introduces us to the unusual facts of the plant world (flowers, coniferous and deciduous trees, etc.). Razvivalki also pays attention to the development of the child's creative abilities - these are drawing and modeling lessons, appliqué templates, cutting toys, creating a puppet theater and many other materials for skillful fingers.
Children's newspaper "Neposeda"
Although the word “newspaper” sounds in the title, in fact it is a full-fledged magazine publication, printed, like Razvivalki, on very high quality paper. Each issue begins with the “Funny Stories” section, where, in the form of a comic strip, an acquaintance with various animals, birds, plants, and inanimate objects takes place.
For example, in the latest issues, the salamander, chipmunk, platypus, mirrors, candy tree, bubble, cacti. With almost every issue of the past years, we collected 3D clamshell toys of various animals, this year we cut out templates from the pages of the magazine and make funny cartoons or funny toys.
The magazine is simply replete with a variety of gaming and logical tasks. Here are just some of the regular headings of Fidget:
- "Merry verse";
- "To be or not to be?" (the pros and cons of different professions are intelligibly considered);
- "Workshop" (workshops for crafts);
- "School Sketches" (interesting and instructive stories from school everyday life);
- "Experiment";
- "Dvizhukha" (rules of fun outdoor games);
- "Glossary" (the meanings of various interesting words are explained in pictures);
- "Smart cook" (children learn to cook healthy and tasty desserts).
In addition, in each issue there are tasks for pictures, ordinary and megalabyrinths, confusions, drawings by cells, smart coloring books, search for puzzle pieces, exciting tasks for counting, crosswords and rebus-scanwords, riddles, fairy tales, text and digital ciphers on spy pages , a walking game, drawing and modeling lessons (you can even create entire collections of plasticine heroes).
Magazine "Sasha and Masha: 1000 adventures"
Initially, the age marking of the magazine was indicated from 4 years old, but after the release of the first two issues, it changed to 6+, but I did not notice any changes in the content, headings and complexity of the game tasks in subsequent issues.
Do you want to play with your child easily and with pleasure?
The magazine has a lot of available educational materials, assignments, creative ideas. Here are the entertaining headings of the magazine that repeat from issue to issue:
- "Lost" (game tasks according to pictures);
- “Why” (a question from a reader and an answer from the editors);
- "Color-ka" (large coloring by numbers);
- "Drawing" (a very interesting presentation of drawing lessons);
- "Hocus-pocus" (crafts, drawings and fun games with a secret, often readers themselves share master classes);
- "Cross-question" (crossword puzzle);
- “Read it” (encrypted phrases and words);
- "Count" (digital tasks);
- "Change" (outdoor games);
- “My beast” (facts and photos of representatives of the animal world);
- "Super Coloring" (on two pages with exciting tasks);
- "Who to be?" (briefly about the profession and thematic game task);
- "Guess" (riddles);
- "Reader" (poems and stories for reading in large print);
- Large colorful labyrinth;
- Funny comic.
At the end of each issue are paper craft templates and useful signs.
Since the beginning of this year, the magazine has a new permanent column "Around the World", which, right from the cover, invites children to go on a trip to different countries of the world. In fact, only 3 pages of a comic book, a small dictionary, and also paper craft- a symbol of the country on the spread (for example, for China it is a dragon, for India it is an elephant, for Australia it is a kangaroo, etc.).
In my opinion, this is not enough to get to know a new country - it was possible to place more game tasks and educational materials with photographs of the sights of each country. Therefore, the heading "Around the World" declared on the cover of the magazine can be considered conditional.
In any case, the magazine "Sasha and Masha: 1000 Adventures" can be safely rated highly.
Magazine "Sanka in the land of fairy tales"
The very name of the magazine calls young readers to, and in fact, each page is an exciting task based on famous fairy tales. Bright cover with an image fairytale heroes simply beckons to start acquaintance with the magazine as soon as possible. “Read, Explore, Master, Play” – such a call is indicated on the cover of each issue, and all this is present in abundance in the publication.
Since the beginning of the magazine's publication, it has been oriented for children from 5 years old, but the last issue changed the age recommendation to 6+. Using the example of my son, who loves to play from this magazine, I assure you that 5-year-old children can safely participate in fairy-tale adventures together with the amazing boy Sanka.
Each issue opens a new fairy tale, which includes main character. And it all starts with the fact that Sanka's grandmother gives a magic chest in which various fairy-tale kingdoms live. And every time, opening the chest, Sanka turns out to be a participant in fairy-tale adventures and, of course, calls his fellow readers for help.
On the pages of the magazine there are many different intellectual tasks - some of them my son and I perform easily, we think and reflect on some, some are still difficult for us. Also here:
- fairy coloring;
- quizzes;
- tricks;
- crafts;
- delicious recipes;
- interesting facts about animals;
- walking games;
- do-it-yourself paper toy.
Another interesting point is that on each page of the magazine there are 3 circles with a different number of minutes. It is necessary to note the time before starting the task, and at the end, count the minutes spent and cross out the corresponding circle. At the end of the journal, the total amount of time taken by the journey to the fairy tale is calculated, and depending on the result, the child is given appropriate recommendations.
I think for older children (from 7-8 years old) this is a great developmental moment. But for younger children, the main thing is not speed, but the process of completing tasks.
Children's educational magazine "Yula"
Some time ago I accidentally saw this magazine (for children preschool age) at the post office and decided to purchase a sample. Now we try to buy every number as much as possible.
On the pages of Yula there are a large number of diverse materials: educational comics, instructive stories, coloring books, logic puzzles and tasks, labyrinths, fillwords, crosswords, puzzles, interesting facts about the life of our planet, fairy tales, outdoor games. On the spread - a fascinating colorful walker or board game.
- "Do it yourself";
- "Incredible tricks, experiments, tasks";
- "We cook ourselves";
- "Scary stories" (about the castles of various countries with an unusual scary history);
- "Our Gallery" (a brief illustrated description of great artists and an entertaining drawing lesson).
We can say that the magazine lives up to its name, as it is simply replete with bright pictures and tasks. The funny heroes of the magazine Yula and Vesnushkin are depicted literally on every page, are present in every task, so it seems that we really travel around our planet with them, play in the yard, search, participate in a bike ride or cook on a fire ... It's very cool!
The son always flips and studies Yulu with pleasure, as the cheerful magazine fully corresponds to his interests.
There is no doubt that each of the presented magazines is a real treasure trove of exciting games, entertaining ideas, various developmental tasks, interesting facts and educational materials.
Periodicity of publications - monthly(except for Fidget, which comes out 2 times a month), so there is enough time for gaming activities in magazines, even if there are several of them. Unique colorful design and quite affordable by existing standards cost (from 30 to 40 rubles per room) make it quite a real opportunity to give your child the joy of traveling through the pages of such fascinating publications.
