Official Kids Mag is ready for
April and New Adventures.
Did you have new adventures during Spring Break?
We want to see and hear about your Spring Break
adventures. Grab your adult and send your Spring
Break fun photos along with what you did to kids@
officialkidsmag.com. We want to share your cool
exciting adventures with all the kids.
Learn about Earth Day in this issue and see how
you can help the environment and your community.
Pick something from the list or come up with your
own way to make the planet better. Everyone can
help make the world a better place every day by
taking care of the earth.
Check out how to create a Fairy Garden. It goes
well with Earth Day and Easter. You can build a
garden you can change around and add special natural items to, like seashells or
stones. Here is an idea: Paint some small rocks like Easter eggs for April, and
add them to your own fairy garden.
Easter is April 21. You know what that means. It's time to get creative with
your Easter eggs. On page 44 you can find helpful tips and new ideas to
decorate your eggs. Don't forget to share your eggs with us on our Face Book
page. Show us your EGGcellent Easter Eggs!
Official Kids Mag Kid Hero this month on page 12 is a fishy feature. Read how
a McNair Middle School fifth grade student is leading the charge for an Arkansas
state fish, and what he is learning along the way.
Something else is new about the Official Kids Mag. I got picked to be on the
team and I'm so excited I get to work for you kids on this cool magazine. I'm
new to Northwest Arkansas, so help me find the best things to do. Ask your
adult to help by emailing kids@officialkidsmag.com. Tell me what your favorite
things to do and places to go in Northwest Arkansas.
It's time to grab a healthy snack, and jump in to the April issue. Let the
adventures begin!! You just might learn something.
