Kids don’t need a safer way to practice social media.

They need better media made for them.

Privacy settings, moderation, and parental controls matter. But they don’t answer the bigger question: what habits is this product building in my child?

A “safer” social feed can still teach kids to chase likes, compare themselves to others, perform for attention, and scroll endlessly.

Better media gives kids room to read, imagine, create, explore, and ask questions — without turning childhood into an audience-building exercise.

Remembering the legendary Jane Yolen, who passed away June 11 at age 87. ✨

With nearly 450 books, Jane’s stories shaped generations of young readers through fantasy, fairy tales, science fiction, and historical fiction. Her beloved work — including Owl Moon, The Devil’s Arithmetic, and “The Girl Who Cried Flowers” — cemented her legacy as the “Hans Christian Andersen of America.”

A longtime contributor to Cricket magazine, Jane inspired children to imagine, explore, and believe in the magic of stories.

Thank you, Jane, for a lifetime of wonder. 📚

Long car rides do not have to mean endless scrolling.

Keep a Cricket magazine in the backseat and give kids something funny, surprising, and screen-free to reach for when the “Are we there yet?” starts creeping in.

Comment if your family has a favorite road trip trick.

TBT: February 2005 ✨ Cover artist Dimitrea Tokunbo titled this watercolor-and-colored-pencil piece 'O, Happy Day.'

She told us: "Even when I was three years old, I loved drawing Kings and Queens and Princesses. I drew them all over my walls! My mom and I had a special deal." We love a cover with a story.

Are there any kids in your life who are drawing on the walls right now???

What a wonderful way to celebrate a year of STEM learning, mentorship, and connection.

We’re proud of the CricketTogether TryEngineering Together program and loved seeing these students get the chance to meet their eMentors and experience engineering in action. Thank you to TenarisBayCity and Van Vleck ISD for helping make STEM feel personal, inspiring, and real for students.
