Designed for children between the ages of 1 and 3, Mon Premier Abricot (formerly Papoum) is one of the first newspapers to think of this particular age. The monthly magazine accompanies the awakening in the first few months, with calibrated content for young readers who do not yet read alone. There are imagers, small stories and simple games to explore and share on a parent’s lap.
What’s in each issue?
The collection combines discovery, hands-on activities, and tenderness, featuring recurring characters like Juju and Little Blue Cat, whom children grow attached to over the months.
- Short Stories: Sweet, brief tales rooted in everyday moments that toddlers can relate to.
- Montre et dis (Look and Say): a series of picture books with varied illustrations, featuring fun themes to name together.
- L’histoire à deux voix (Story in Two Voices): a book to read together—parent and child—to share the page and the words.
- Coin Bricolage (Craft Corner): Simple hands-on activities that develop fine motor skills.
- Mon Premier Abricot Parents: a workbook with practical tips and ideas to support learning.
For toddlers and their parents
The magazine is primarily aimed at toddlers between the ages of 1 and 3, but it’s always meant to be read together. The stories are simple enough to hold a child’s still-fleeting attention, and heartwarming enough to stir a sense of nostalgia in adults. This shared experience creates a bond through reading, long before the child can read on their own.
Parents will also find guidance here. The dedicated issue covers sleep, language, and early emotions—all explained in plain language. Issue after issue, Mon Premier Abricot becomes a little monthly ritual that marks the passage of the early years and fosters a love of books.
