Max has been a Paw Patrol fan for a while now, and is just starting to show an interest in magazines, so when the new Paw Patrol magazine landed on our doormat he was very keen to take a closer look!
The Paw Patrol magazine came with a Chase hat, badge and torch, and like most children Max wanted to play with these first. The hat is a simple elastic string affair, and the badge and torch are the standard plastic toys you expect on a magazine – they certainly won’t last forever but they have been well enjoyed so far and are great for role play.
The magazine itself is well laid out, and has heaps of features that are suitable for Max’s age and beyond. There are pictures to colour, a page of stickers to stick on relevant scenes in the magazine (plus a couple of ‘just for fun’ stickers), a poster and puzzles such as mazes, spot the difference and odd one out.
There are lots of games aimed at enhancing learning too – words and letters to trace over, things to count and a game teaching opposites. I sometimes find that magazines for this age are ‘all work and no play’, so I was glad to see a combination of learning games and fun puzzles and colouring – there seems to be a good balance. There is also a comic strip style story which is the perfect length for this age and held Max’s attention throughout.
I would consider buying the Paw Patrol magazine again – the next episode comes with Paw Patrol walkie talkies, and will be on sale for £2.99, which is in line with other similar magazines. I think for just under £3 you get a pretty decent spread of games, puzzles and stories, and stickers are always a hit. The toys on the front are usually loved by any kid, and help to extend the play a little further.
We’re not at the Paw Patrol phase yet but my niece adores it so I know it’s only time! Might treat her to this for some auntie points! #triedtested

Max looks really happy with this magazine. I think it’s great when a comic complements a TV series, it helps to encourage reluctant readers when they can also read about their favourite TV characters.

This isn’t a programme that my lot watch but Max looks rather impressed with it 🙂

My lirrle boy loves Paw Patrol. When it comes to magazines he chooses Peppa Pig every time. A magazine can keep him occupied for ages, all the stickers, stories and colouring..not to mention the toy. I think they are great value for money. Max looks like he loves his Paw Patrol magazine, I love the hat xx #TriedTested
Aww! Max looks so happy with that magazine….
My girl loves Paw Patrol.

I bought this for one of my girls as she loves Paw Patrol! We thought it was a great magazine. She enjoyed colouring the pictures inside and doing all the activities and sticking the stickers on the sticker pages. She loved the police badge toy, but was a tad disappointed that the torch wasn’t real! Aside from that we thought it was great! #TriedTested

I am probably one of the only people in the world not to have seen Paw Patrol yet! It is all about Blaze and The Monster Machines in our house!

Haven’t come across Paw Patrol, but I do find kids magazines are great value for the amount of entertainment they get out of them

Aww how lovely, I love your photos! My daughter really likes magazines but never even looks at them again so I’m stock-piling them ready for when she wants them again! I wont pay more than £3 for one but I think they are great for children, like you say, theres a mix of stories, colouring and puzzles. The paw patrol magazine looks really good! 🙂

I’ve watched Paw Patrol a few times with my littlest one and she seems to really like it. But I found it funny that recently I’ve read a lot of stuff online about ‘parents’ disliking the programme. I’m not sure what it’s all about though – didn’t read much more into it. Must check it out again though. Thanks for hosting #triedandtested
Some kids magazines are definitely a rip off, Mini M picked up a Thomas one the other day, it was £3.99 and you didn’t really get much for it. This seems to have a good mix #triedtested

My daughter likes paw patrol. This looks like a good magazine for little ones.
Oooohhh this looks like a lot of fun. I have a fan of Paw Patrol right here! We usually end up picking up a Peppa Pig magazine when out shopping, but I will be keeping an eye out for the Paw Patrol one instead. Great review and I like the little freebies you get with the magazine. #triedtested
