I was really excited when Kathreen contacted me about sharing her new project from WhipUp--Action Pack--with all of you. The opening page of the magazine says it all :

This action-packed mini-mag for kids will inspire creativity and healthy habits, as it feeds inquisitive minds and challenges the imagination.

Issue I features activities and crafts with paper and beeswax--(perfect timing as I have a ton of leftover beeswax from Christmas gifts.) The chapters include Crafts, Science, Cooking, Facts, Art and Printables. The layout of the magazine is beautiful. The artwork and illustrations are clear and enticing and remind me of something from the pages of my long-ago favorite Martha Stewart Kids. This issue ties in crafts with beeswax, and recipes and facts about honey and bees.

It is clear from the pages of this magazine that Kathreen really knows how to inspire creativity in kids. This mini-mag is well thought-out, beautifully presented, and I can't wait to see what other Action Packs come in the future.

Kathreen is generously giving away 5 copies of Action Pack to five lucky readers! Simply leave a comment on this post to be entered. I'll announce the winner on Friday. Meanwhile, you can purchase and download your own copy of Action Pack for just $5 from the whipup shop and get started crafting right away!

Laura who said: Ooh, I saw something about this about a week ago and thought it was such a neat idea. I don't have children of my own, yet, but I am studying to be a teacher, and this would be such a great resource for teaching, as well as for when I get to be a mother someday. Thanks a bunch!

Stephanie who said : My daughter might be a little young yet but I bet we could find a few things in there to have fun with!
