Honest History is a company that wants to help kids learn history in a fun way. They make magazines and books and have a old podcast you can still listen to. I’m going to share about the magazines here.
Disclosure: We received magazines to review.
Honest History Magazines are put out once a quarter (4 issues per year.) They are thicker than your average magazine and chock full of interesting history articles and some activities, comics or the occasional colouring page. It is SO colourful too!
They are designed for kids but I enjoyed flipping through them and reading different articles. We will be reading the whole magazine word for word at some point in our homeschool. You don’t have to homeschool to enjoy the magazines though. If you just have a child who loves history, these would be a GREAT gift.
I like that they aren’t afraid to talk about parts of history that are harder to talk about like Apartheid. Everything is talked about in child friendly words though. I’d recommend ages 8-13 for it’s ideal ages however as I said, I enjoyed it and will be reading it with my 14 year old as well as my 11 year old. Younger kids may need someone to read to them unless they are a really strong reader. There is lots of words.
When you subscribe, besides the obvious get the new issues option, there are two other options you can pick from. If you aren’t ready to subscribe yet you can also purchase individual issues. Honest History is a great way to make History fun but informative.
