Our church has a magazine subscription you can have mailed to you or you can download to your device. This is the kids version (intended for age 3-11) we have another for the youth and then adults.
We love having this in our home as another way to bring the spirit into our home. There are so many great features in the magazine that can be used in conjunction to teaching the children. One of the greatest features they added this years monthly editions is the COME FOLLOW ME marker on the pages that tie to that months weekly personal studies and lessons.
Sometimes having these little helps make teaching kids a lot easier for busy parents. We love having these extra stories, games and coloring pages for our boys as we go through the lessons as a family to prepare for that weeks Sunday meetings.
Another fun page they have is a page filled with content from kids by kids. Kids can write letters in, share pictures and stories they then have a chance to have them published.
Another cool thing about The Friend is that it is like having 2 magazines in 1. From one side it is geared towards SR Primary (age 8-10) and from the other side it is geared towards Jr Primary (ages 3-8). The content is then geared toward those ages
One of our favorite pages is the easy reader/ Picto reading. my boys love reading and this gives them the chance to read by themselves.
The stories are shorter in the JR side and have more pictures. This section also has the COME FOLLOW ME markers on the page for teaching the younger group. Our 4 year old loves when we use this for family study to talk about the weeks lessons.
