2 kidsguide fall/winter 11/12
publisher’snote
We love stuff. It’s what we look for every day at Kidsguide— fun stuff, educational stuff—good stuff that enriches the lives of kids and families. So imagine our delight when we found Bart
King, the “king” of stuff and author of 11 books—all devoted to…stuff.
We took Bart’s “big books of stuff” and asked him to give us his favorites from each. Prepare to be entertained: more so, for your kids to be entertained. The editorial includes an amazing underwear trick, a sure-fire way to win at arm wres- tling, and lots of other dorky/cute/gross goodies.
Bet you have some good stuff too! Email us your favorite “stuff” (tip or story) in one of Bart’s book categories (Boy Stuff, Girl Stuff, Gross Stuff, Spy Stuff, Cute Stuff, Fun Stuff) and you’ll be entered to win a personally autographed copy of one of his books, plus be entered to win the grand prize—a party for 12 at Kitch- en, Den, Bar in Long Beach. Send entries to:
info@kidsguidemagazine.com.
Heads-up: Our print issue now fea- tures the “Ongoing Calendar” only. Our monthly calendar of events is online. We wanted to make sure you had the most up-to-date and comprehensive in- formation on everything in the world of family fun. You can view the calendar at
kidsguidemagazine.com—we update it daily—better yet, sign up for The Buzzz, and a weekly calendar will be delivered to your inbox.
If you haven’t visited our site lately, check it out. We’re blogging and post- ing “Mystery Coupons” weekly. You can connect with us on Facebook, too. We’re posting daily...good stuff, useful stuff... more stuff!
