Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year! Children eagerly wait to see what surprises are waiting for them under the tree. Pulling crackers, telling jokes, watching movies as a family, and unwrapping gifts – it's what makes the holiday season extra special.
 
We understand why finding the perfect gift is important to you. You don't want something that will be forgotten within a few weeks, nor something that harms the environment. You want something unique, stimulating, and educational – something that will make your kiddo excited all-year-round. That's why Eco Kids Planet Magazine is the answer.
 
Take a look at our list to discover why Eco Kids Planet is the ultimate Christmas gift for children between the ages of 7 to 11!


1. We Help You Raise Wildlife Ambassadors

You’re passionate about wildlife and want to protect it. We help you raise a child who loves and protects our planet, too. Each issue, we highlight environmental issues from different regions around the world and talk about the plight of individual species. Children learn about millions of extraordinary creatures from across the globe. Sharing success stories and solutions, we inspire our readers to help us achieve a green future. Children become more thoughtful and considerate. Because the more they know, the more they appreciate, and the more they care.

"I recently bought my son Sam a subscription. He received the sharks issue and absolutely loved it. To the extent he has became quite passionate, got some books out of the library also and created a poster to let people know how important sharks are. We're very impressed with your magazine." Amber


2. We're Helping Children Excel at School


Hooray! A Christmas present that helps support children with school. When we plan our content, we ensure that it supports and extends the national curriculum. This means that your children can learn and advance their knowledge, without feeling as though it’s homework! The magazines will quickly become their go-to resource for school projects and homework.

Young readers also encounter new words, which are carefully chosen and explained in the glossary sections. Our FREE online resource pack (available with each issue) includes literacy quizzes to help children practise their new vocabulary.

 

“Dear Eco-kids planet. I have just worked through my first issue of this magazine. I think it is great and have hardly put it down. My teacher was impressed with how much I was able to tell her about the islands, I thought it was all very interesting and I can't wait for the next issue."  Cammi, age 8.


3. Craft Together Over Christmas 

A great horned owl mask, a papercraft ocean playset, a sparkling ice sun-catcher – these are just a few examples of the crafts we’ve included inside our magazines. What a lovely way to bond over Christmas while crafting or creating one of our nature activities. With step-by-step instructions, children can recycle and transform part of their magazines into a dancing Japanese crane, a vampire bat finger puppet, and lots of other exciting ideas we have up our sleeves. So, don’t be surprised if a cute pinecone penguin or paper robin joins you for Christmas dinner.

 

"This is our first edition of Eco Kids and we have loved it. Emily particularly enjoyed making her owl mask and swooping around the kitchen! Thank you." Laura

4. We're Always Ads Free

Did you know that companies spend approximately $17 billion annually marketing to children? And with the rise in ‘screen-time’, children are exposed to adverts on a daily basis. Our magazines are ad-free because a learning journey should never be interrupted. Listen to your child sharing fascinating facts instead of begging for a toy they saw in an advert.

 

"My daughter absolutely loves your magazines. She eagerly awaits delivery of the new magazine each month, then disappears until she’s finished reading it. I love the way she will suddenly announce some fact or other, informing me that 'I read it in Eco kids one time'. She particularly likes the lack of adverts." Jennifer Vaughan


5. We Capture Children's Imaginations

On each page, a pair of wild eyes stares back at you, a giant crab leaps off the page, or a mighty volcano explodes. Adventuring around the world, we showcase amazing wildlife and habitats, unique cultures and traditions. Your children will meet real local people and inspiring projects. Each issue also comes with beautiful posters, which your child can display in their dens, bedrooms and classrooms. Imagine it your children in their new pyjamas, nice and full from Christmas cake, relaxed on the sofa and lost in their magazine. 

"These magazines are the best I’ve found for children. Very informative but interesting at the same time. I’ve find that other magazines are quite boring for children but these are really fun!"  Shell Jenkins


6. Your Gift will Last all Year Around

Your gift goes beyond opening on Christmas Day. Each month, your child will enjoy the postman delivering a new magazine, addressed to them. We all remember how fun and special it felt having post of our own! Your child can take part in monthly competitions and even join our Eco Kids Editorial panel to help us plan and create new exiting issues.

"Highly recommend this magazine. Good quality print and full of information that parents and kids alike enjoy. Nat Geo isn't a patch on this so I know which subscription we are keeping!" Debbie Fothergill


7. We're Award-Winning

Eco Kids Planet won a prestigious Gold Award three years running in the 2020, 2019 & 2018 Parents’ Choice Awards. The award recognises the top children’s magazines, as voted upon by the Parents’ Choice Awards committee members, including families and educators. To top it off, Eco Kids Planet was also named a Mom's Choice Awards Gold Recipient in 2022 and 2023! We believe that your kids absolutely deserve the very best!

"Eco Kids Planet is informative, appealingly written, beautifully designed and sturdy. The monthly themes are well chosen for their interest and significance, and each theme is thoughtfully explored through a variety of angles." Parents’ Choice


8. We Raise Little Scientists with Big Minds

Do you have a little scientist at home? Does your child like making slime, observing wildlife, or making an erupting volcano? Each issue takes your child on a new investigation. We encourage them to use skills such as measuring, collecting, calculating, observing, questioning and designing. Turn a weekend walk into an exciting nature investigation or spend time playing in your garden with activities that help local wildlife


9. We're Committed to Excellent Service 

Unlike most magazine subscriptions, our flexible service lets you choose your start issue and preferred delivery date. Whether it’s a last-minute birthday gift or an early Christmas present, we go out of the way to deliver it on time. The first issue is shipped in a white envelope (so your child can’t see what’s inside) and marked “Open on xx date.”

"Thank you, Eco Kids ...We’re all loving our first monthly magazine. Fast order and delivery... Well done!”

10. We're Eco-Friendly and Plastic-Free!

The perfect plastic-free Christmas gift. When our magazine arrives in the post, it won’t be sealed in plastic. 100% of the magazine is recyclable and it’s delivered in a paper envelope. Rather than filling it with plastic toys, we give you FREE paper crafts, giant world maps and gorgeous posters. We use biodegradable vegetable ink, and print on responsibly sourced paper (FSC certified). When we make and send out our magazines, we always take great care of the environment.
