Established in 1973, Stone Soup is the leading publisher of children’s writing and art in the English-speaking world. Stone Soup Magazine was founded for the purpose of encouraging children to read, write, and draw by showcasing their best stories, poems, and artwork in a high quality literary magazine. It challenges, motivates, and stimulates kids to deepen their engagement with reading, writing, and art. Long a fixture in schools, libraries, and the homes of children ages 8 to 13 who love to read and write Stone Soup is the perfect gift for creative children.
Stone Soup digital goes beyond the printed magazine with bonus features that are both fun and educational. Animation and sound make our beautiful illustrations come alive. Star ratings invite readers to participate by rating each story and poem. The Time Capsule zooms to a few of our favorite stories and poems from past issues. Glossary links provide definitions for words that may be unfamiliar to our readers. Each digital edition of Stone Soup also includes a bonus slide show of international childrens art from the Stone Soup Museum.

Latest reviews of Stone Soup Magazine app for iPhone and iPad
A good idea, but the magazines dont open, and that pretty much ruins the point of the app.
Ive known Stone Soup for years. We are subscribers to the print edition. My daughter loves it. It seems we always have our iPad with us when we go out so I bought this for her as I know shell read it when we are out and about. Also, the music and animated illustrations make an appealing magazine even more appealing. The app is still Stone Soup, clean and elegantly designed, but now even more engaging.
Stone Soup Magazine is a favorite in our home and the introduction of the app helps brings its content to life. Our daughter loves the animation used in the illustrations, the ratings systems for stories and poems, and extras like Google maps and slideshows. As a parent I love how there is glossary links for harder to understand words or for unfamiliar sayings. Overall a fabulous app for children who love reading, writing and drawing (all the content is submitted by children). Its educational and fun, a win-win. Thank you Stone Soup.
Seeing Stone Soup as an App is absolutely great. Stone Soup has been a staple in our home over many years... Its a beautiful and unique "magazine," ostensibly for kids (by kids), but its much more that that: its an "institution" that brings creative young people from all over the world together... its an inspiring (and entertaining) publication on the highest level. The app is beautifully constructed and presented with tasteful animation and vivid reproductions, along with other ancillary add-ons, like animation and audio. Highly recommended. Thank you, Childrens Art Foundation for years of enriching so many lives and for moving forward into this latest phase--the app.
I was wondering what stone soup was gonna cook up next, and boy am I stoked its an app for my iphone! While many May prefer to stay in the Stone Age with print editions, I found this to be a lot more convenient! Thanks Stone Soup.
