I can't see why a kid-focused magazine like this can't survive. It seems like all parents are concerned about the amount of screen time their kids have, and most want their kids to do more reading, so something like this would be perfect. Yet this one seemed to die quickly, and Little Player never got off the ground like it wanted to.

I have a 9 month old who of course I want to get into video games someday. I was looking forward to getting him a sub to Little Player when he turned 2 or so. I'm really hoping SOMEONE has a print magazine for little kids again.

They may start having a print subscription in the future. They've had issues recently and suspended print subscriptions. I would have subscribed at the very beginning but they would not ship to Canada (boo!).

There are a bunch in the UK.  The problem is that the magazine market in the USA has dried up for everyone, not just kids.

Here are UK monthlies aimed at the under-12 crowd:

 

And here's one published in Japan:

And another aimed at young girls:
