Champak
Champak is one of the largest read children's magazine in the country. I still remember how much I loved that magazine as a kid. Published in 8 languages, Champak is a bouquet of short stories, comic strips, puzzles, brain teasers and jokes that sets the child's imagination free. When I looked at its online edition today, I was overjoyed to see that the beauty of this magazine is still intact even after so many years - good meaningful stories with colourful pictures, puzzles and games, useful information and learning for the kids inter-weaved throughout the magazine! Its just wonderful to have such a gem for our kids in this age of trash entertainment.
Here is one of the puzzles I liked in this month's magazine:
