Crow Toes

Crow Toes Quarterly is a childrens magazine that has a more sinister look than most literature aimed at children. I like what they've done with their site and blog, and encourage kids to go to this site and even subscribe to their magazine.
Potential for artists and writer's abounds there as well. They accept submissions of both stories and illustrations.
Their site has some fun opportunities for children to be creative too.
Definitely worth a look!
