Raising Playful Tots show #21 Tessy and Tab + Screen free week

Today Judy Johnston CEO & Co-founder talks about the ad free preschool magazine: Tessy and Tab.

She talks about this brilliant Early childhood magazine that my boys loved and is still very well used. I wrote a review about  Tessy & Tab but today Judy explains the reason behind being ad free, paper choice and how the illustrations are upto date. Yes when the Tessy and Tab are in the car they are in car seats!

We talk about the influence and effect of this type of magazine in a media culture full of screens especially in light of the Einstein recall.
