A newspaper for kids - printed and delivered monthly. Full of puzzles, math, nature facts, science experiments, card games, outdoor scavenger hunts, etc...
I wanted something for my kids to do for hours every month that is fun, education, and most importantly, screen free.
I built a custom newspaper builder along with it to help me design it. I'm not a designer so tools like phoshop don't ocme easy. This allows me to have different layouts for pages and create different re-usable elements.
I'm in the process of figuring out fulfillment and shipping right now. I just got some samples from https://www.newspaperclub.com/ and they were pretty impressive. My other option is a local printing shop in my town. I'm visiting them later this week so we will see.
It will be in color. Broadsheet (350mmx500mm). 12 pages. Color.
I've been designing puzzles, etc.. myself. Using claude and chatgpt to brainstorm fun games/expirements/etc...
I don't have the site up yet. Waiting to get the first batch so I have some IRL images to add to the site.
I wish ranger Rick existed for teens though. My kids loved that when they were smaller, but now we have to spend a shit ton of effort to find teen appropriate content of a similar nature (hah!).
