Creative Kids magazine is the nation's largest magazine by and for kids. The magazine bursts with games, stories, artwork, and opinions all by and for kids ages 8-16.

In the pages of Creative Kids you will find such fun activities as: stories, poetry, artwork, games, book reviews, do-it-yourself projects, and much more!

This interactive magazine also includes activities that stimulate and encourage the creativity of readers.

The most exciting aspect of Creative Kids is that it is written by kids. Students from all over the world write for the magazine, so it includes exciting examples of the most creative student work to be found in any publication. Many kids get started by writing for the magazine's "Write On" section. Here, kids express themselves in letters to the editor, answers to posed questions, and questions of their own.

One Amazon.com reviewer explained the importance of the fact that kids write for the magazine: "I love Creative Kids magazine! ... I like that the magazine is written by kids like me -- it's not just a bunch of adults writing about what they think kids want to read. It's a totally cool magazine that any kid would like."
