ABOUT

FamilyFun, the country's number one family magazine, is about all the great things families can do together. We are the family experts on travel, food, crafts, parties, holidays, games, activities, and products-all the essentials that enrich the important time parents and children share.

FamilyFun magazine's Toy of the Year (T.O.Y.) Awards, announced each year in our November issue, relies on testing by parents and children to determine the best toys for families to give and to get for the holidays. FamilyFun magazine, which launched in 1991, is published ten times a year by Disney Publishing Worldwide and has a circulation of 2 million readers.

WRITING STYLE

FamilyFun's writing style is cheerful but not saccharine, straightforward but not without humor. Our goal is to inspire our readers with an engaging style, personal anecdotes, a good story, or humor, then provide them with nuts and bolts information. We try to be entertaining and include playful sidebars whenever possible. We avoid jargon, and we don't preach or make judgments (about, for example, stay-at-home mothers versus working mothers). When necessary, articles provide step-by-step directions; when possible, they cite resources that allow the reader to explore a subject further.
