Kids! We have been having too much fun!
Official Kids Mag has been out meeting so many
awesome kids at all the festivals and events. We
went to First Thursday in Fayetteville and had a blast
at the tailgate party. There was waterslides and face
painting and lots of good food. All that adventure is
on page 40 and 41 so you can see the fun.
Official Kids Mag went to the Benton County Fair
and saw the "Tossed" Sculpture Contest. Check out
page 38 for some cool creations; then look around
and see what you can make. You might surprise your
adult and your friends with what you come up with.
We would love to see your recycled art and share
your ideas with all the other kids so send us a picture
at renee@officialkidsmag.com. We all need some
recycling ideas!
On page 36, you will see Anna, who is one kiddo's
Furr-ever pet. Send in your pet story and pictures to be published in Official
Kids Mag at renee@officialkidsmag.com.
Kids in the Kitchen is a mix of a fun treat and Science this month! Get ready to
cool down by making some ice cream. All the directions and ingredients are on
page 42-45 along with a brief description of the scientific process. What a COOL
idea way to learn something on a super hot day.
After you get that cool treat made, grab something to write with and get into
the activity and coloring pages. There, inside Official Kids Mag, you'll find 16
pages of wild and wacky fun to get you started for September.
And finally, now that school is in, Official Kids Mag thought we could help all
you kids with some websites for homework help. The list has everything from
science to math to geography and more! Share these sites with your teacher
and adult so they know you are on top of your homework game. You just
might learn something, and you can tell them they might learn something too!
Get Official Kids Mag delivered to your door! Have your adult email renee@
