Furchester Magazine Review
Launched today and available in all good shops The Furchester
Magazine is the latest childrens comic from the BBC & Cbeebies. Aimed
from about 3-6 years it’s a great way to keep up to date on all the crazy
goings on at the hotel.
Starring Elmo, the cookie monster, Phoebe and their family this
is a great tie in with the popular show. It is published every 4 weeks and
retails at £2.75. The first copy comes with a great little kit which allows you
to make your own monster portraits and create your own monster hotel. A perfect
time filler for the rain showers we keep having!
The boys loved the fact that the magazine came with
stickers and activity’s to do throughout the pages. It made it a lot more fun
and they didn’t just play with the added toy on the front. The magazine is the
great quality you would expect from the BBC brand and is aimed perfectly at the
children to capture their attention. My youngest did need his elder brother to
help him out over a couple of the pages and to read the story to him but he
quite happily played the games and mazes on his giving me a nice 10 minute
break!
The colouring pages are big and cheerful and actually
allowed the crayon colours to stick we cheered my youngest up. We’ve recently
had comics with colouring pages where they are too shiny to colour! While he didn’t
pick it up and read it in one sitting it has been picked up and flicked through
and new pages discovered each time.
The Furchester Magazine is a great new addition and will
become a firm favourite for all those that already love the show! It’s a great standalone
magazine and you don’t need to be a fan to buy it and have fun!
