Kevätpörriäinen

Kevätpörriäinen (Finnish meaning approximately "spring buzzing bee") is an annual Finnish magazine in Helsinki.

The full-color magazine is produced entirely by volunteer children from primary schools in Helsinki. Every year, teachers in Helsinki schools ask their pupils to write stories and poems and draw pictures for the magazine and, after the articles are approved, the magazine is sent to be printed.

The magazine is sold through primary school student volunteers on the streets of Helsinki and sometimes door-to-door. It is not available through retail outlets.

For many Finns living in the Helsinki region, buying a copy of Kevätpörriäinen is an important spring tradition.
