Art Projects with Magazines

A magazine subscription is really the gift that just keeps on giving.  Why?  Well, because when you purchase a magazine subscription from National Magazine Exchange or another company, you get to enjoy reading it.  Then, you get to use the magazines for all sorts of fun projects.

One great idea is to cut your old magazines into strips and then to weave the strips together for a colorful placemat!  Help your kids who are learning to read to have fun by cutting out all sorts of words from the magazines and then having them make crazy poetry.  Kids love this activity as it is creative and engaging – and they won’t even notice that you are actually practicing their reading with them.

If you have a real little one at home, you can create an alphabet book or an animal book.  Cut out alphabet letters from the magazine, or bright colors, shapes, animals, and more and make a colorful book for them to read through and enjoy.
