Excellent magazine

My children have been reading this magazine for several years and have been massive fans. The content is fun, informative and engaging. They learn about animals, the world and also enjoy the quizzes and the other activities as well. We highly recommend this magazine, especially as an alternative to the child asking for more screen time. The annual subscription is very affordable and the staff online have always been helpful whenever I’ve needed to email them with queries about the subscription.

Rubbish packaging ruins the joy

The magazines arrives in a paper envelope which does not protect the magazine properly. Ours has arrived torn and bent and also damaged from landing through the letter box. A proper cardboard sleeve such as amazon use would protect it properly. It obvious. It feels very sloppy and disinterested of Nat Geo to not bother and our 10 yr old is sorely disssapointed every month when he runs with excitement to pick up his post and his prized magazine is damaged and bent. It's also disappointing that a lot of the content has been about ugly and weird animals whereas at his age he wants to see beautiful, cute and fluffy. Not grey and lumpy. But perhaps thats more of a personal thing. For the extraordinary amount of money we paid its been a bit of a let down. However they are still his favourite magazine and hes still hoping they will come good. He has asked me to write to them about the packaging and is really expecting they will take on board his feedback as its so fundamental.

Hi Halimah,

We're sorry to hear you are disappointed by the packaging our magazines arrive in. We take great consideration with regards to how our magazines are produced, as a certified B Corp, we consider every part of the supply chain to reduce our environmental impact - as such, our envelopes are 100% recyclable. Unlike Amazon, we are a small, independent publisher, therefore it is not viable for us to deliver each magazine in cardboard backed packaging without passing the cost of this back onto our customers. We endeavor to source the most sustainable materials, while also keeping costs to a minimum to ensure value for our subscribers.

We have thousands of very happy subscribers, which can make it difficult to tailor our content for all preferences: while our weird and wonderful animal content is a huge hit with a lot of our subscribers, we appreciate some children prefer cute and fluffy - I can assure you, throughout your subscription, you will find an ideal blend of the two.

I have sent you an email so we can address the issue of the damaged issues and I hope to hear back from you soon. Many thanks, Jade - Nat Geo Kids.

A gift that goes on giving

My 5 year old granddaughter is enjoying and learning from her NGK Little Kids Magazine. Her parents tell me that she is excited when it arrives.

As grandparents who don’t live near our grandchildren we are happy that she is aware that it is a gift from us.

Bringing to life the love of nature, reading and learning

A wonderful example of bringing to life my 8 year old son's love of nature, animals, reading, and learning. The mag is a positive, fun, easy to follow format that instills the importance of understanding the impact we can have, and empowering my son (and me!) to take positive action in our everyday lives.

A perfect gift.

It was straightforward ordering National Geographic Kids online and turned out to be an excellent choice of Christmas gift; not only does my 10 year old grandson love receiving and reading the magazine each month, we adults enjoy the photos, easy-to-read information; the very accessible style of the articles, the games and quizzes and no doubt more!

I'd signed up for a good introductory deal with the mentality that I would cancel when it was over but the kids absolutely love what they've started to call the smart pants magazine. You get an email with tips on how to engage with your children as you read along with suggestions for extra activities which is really helpful too.
