Highlights High Five

I'm very impressed. At first I was bummed because Grandma sent this and didn't listen to me. I wanted Ladybug for my 3 year old. I think this one has more content. We looked at a ladybug once and we keep coming back to the High Five because there is so much stuff to do in it. There's 34 pages in the March 2007 issue.

Here's the table of contents:

Let's Read Aloud together! 7 poems/stories of a variety of topics and art styles

Let's Puzzle it Out! 5 puzzlesa few are very easy so she feels successful but there are couple more challenging ones (but not too)

Let's Make Something! 3 crafts/recipes

Let's Move! 2 different activities

Very happy and looking forward to next month's magazine!

I came across this wonderful magazine in the periodicals section of my local grocery store and was immediately taken by it...it says on the cover that it is "advertising-free" and that prompted me to take a look inside.

The magazine has an interesting & creative layout. The illustrations are bold, bright & beautiful, and the activities are age appropriate [target age group is 2-6 yrs]. My two and a half year old loves this magazine...I read the stories to her, and we do the activities like crafts & coloring together. An added bonus is that the pages are sturdier than your average magazine and will keep relatively well. The issues are all so beautiful that I will keep them for a few years, to be read and reread until my daughter outgrows them. And it truly is ad-free...a value buy!

Buy Highlights High Five Now

I recently bought this magazine subscription for my 5ry old and I'm so glad I did! Just as with Highlights (for slightly older kids) this holds true to the simple values and gentle lessons of kindness, friendship...and learning, but on a little kid's level. My son just received his first two issues and they have yet to be removed from the living room...he looks at them daily...sometimes hourly!!! There are activities, stories (beginning phonics) and hidden pictures that keep him busy (and his brain working) for at least an hour at a time! This subscription gives any child the 'highlight' of going to the mailbox for HIS mail and he loves it. This subscription would make a great gift too! Well worth the moneyI'll get it it again next year!

This is a wonderful magazine. My son (age 4) loves the activities, which are age appropriate. He loves to lay down for a rest and look through the magazine. I love the variety of activities/reading in High Five and that the stories promote interest in reading. It is fun and educational. My only regret is that it is NOT weekly!

Want Highlights High Five Discount?

I got High Five for my three-year-old daughter at a huge discount. I will renew even if that opportunity doesn't present itself when it's time. There are poems, songs, action games, find-the-picture, and each magazine has a game to play outside the magazine as well. At Easter time, for example, it had a poem about colored eggs, and the game to cut out was a color matching game with the different colors of eggs. My daughter really loves this magazine. I love the fact that it encourages dialogue about relationships inside and outside the family. It gives my daughter a chance to develop fine motor skills and even gross motor skills each issue also has a song that has "movements" to it: making a fun way for my daughter to use her hands and get some exercise. There is always a recipe that we can try together, and most of them have been a big hit. We learned how to make puppets, play dough, and other fun crafts that have been the highlight of our reading time. I am impressed by the preschool version of Highlights. If it hadn't been for the reputation of Highlights as a great kids magazine, I would not have looked twice at High Five. But, rest assured, it's a great way to be involved with your pre-schooler and will teach your child important skills for school and life in general.
