About

Bound into every issue of Skeptic, Junior Skeptic magazine is an engagingly illustrated science and critical thinking publication for younger readers.

Each issue is an in depth primer on the background, concepts, and arguments surrounding one major paranormal claim, such as the Bermuda Triangle, or Bigfoot — simple, bottom-line, and jargon-free.

Free Icons

Free Junior Skeptic Icons for Mac OSX and Windows XP

Tired of the same old folder icons on your computer? A set of seventeen custom Junior Skeptic icons designed by Daniel Loxton is now available for you to use at home — completely free!

If you're a Mac OSX user, download the set as a Zip archive. It should uncompress as a Mac folder containing the icons (formatted as ready-made Mac folders), plus instructions for applying the icons to your own folders.

If you're a Windows XP user, download the set as a Zip archive. It should uncompress as seventeen .ICO files, plus a jpeg showing what the icons look like, plus a text file explaining how to install them in your own folders. (The .ICO files will probably not directly open as image files, but can be applied to new folders using the "Properties" dialogue box. Instructions are included in a text file.)

And now we HAVE to make Dan come to Dragon*Con next year and talk all about Jr. Skeptic! I had at LEAST 20 or more parents come and ask me if Dan was there. No crap, I am serious. We had at least 2 kids under the age of 12 in each of our Skeptic related panels. It was kind of cool to see how many parents that were there, and I go to see them, and hear them, teaching their kids all about the stuff we were talking about! SOOOOOoooo damn cool... :)

Origami Dragon


To celebrate the “Dragons” issue of Junior Skeptic, we’re introducing a real dragon — one you can make yourself!

This brand new origami figure was designed especially for Junior Skeptic by Australian skeptic, author, and origami artist Richard Saunders.

To conjure up a winged dragon of your own — or a flock of them! — all you need are a square piece of paper and an internet connection. Richard has kindly made a step-by-step instruction video showing exactly how to fold the figure, which you can watch online for free. Have fun!
