80 years of reading joy and developmental activities for children

Finland’s longest-running children’s magazine offers high-quality and interesting content, such as interviews with today’s favorite idols and articles about phenomena in the lives of primary school children, pets, and hobbies. The magazine features researched information, exciting insights, and activities that challenge children’s own thinking. In addition to carefully crafted articles, Koululainen includes fun quizzes, knowledge tests, cooking and crafting instructions, as well as interesting reviews of the gaming world. Each issue contains the Children’s News World, produced in cooperation with Suomen Kuvalehti. Koululainen builds a sense of community among primary school children with different interests. The magazine also interviews various children from around Finland, and the voices of ordinary schoolchildren provide peer experiences on everyday and school-related phenomena.

In today’s digital age, Koululainen activates children’s own thinking, and the magazine can be safely given to a child to read independently. Koululainen is suitable for both those practicing reading skills and those who have already mastered them well. In addition to the 12 annual print issues, Koululainen has an active website. On Koululainen.fi, children enjoy fun quizzes, news related to the world of children, and reading stories.
