March is here, spring is coming and with it a new issue of Play magazine. St Patrick’s Day is celebrated in Ireland and in this issue, we look at it from several angles. On farms and ranches, spring sees the birth of baby animals – and not just in Ireland – so our next topic is pets. We find out what they can and can’t do. As always, there’s a variety of crosswords, colouring and make-up activities to exercise your brain.

Have fun, the Play Magazine team
