At Lotta Magazine<\/em>, we are trying to do something different.<\/p>\n No ads.<\/strong> Lotta<\/em> is ad-free because we believe that children should be children before they are consumers. We don\u2019t want to sell plastic toys or processed food to your kids, just our ideas for fun and creative ways to while away the holidays. Our magazine is 100% fun, no filler.<\/p>\n Gender neutral.<\/strong> Lotta<\/em> is not a boys magazine or a girls magazine, we are a kids magazine because we believe that all kids should have a variety of experiences, not just those that align with gender stereotypes.<\/p>\n Our aims are to:<\/p>\n Make school holidays less painful.<\/strong> Banish boredom with our many holiday activity ideas. Clear instructions and a downloadable materials list make our ideas easy for parents to facilitate. Our projects won\u2019t break the bank \u2014\u00a0many of our ideas are free if you have some basic art supplies.\u00a0Lotta Magazine<\/em> gives you great value for money with over 40 ideas for only $10.<\/p>\n Encourage creativity.<\/strong> Childhood is a time of natural, boundless creativity and curiosity. To think of something in a new way, to enquire about something that others don\u2019t question, to come up with something truly unique is what children do best. Unfortunately, as we grow up, many of us lose this precious gift. Creativity is an important and useful skill in all areas of life, not just for art. We all need to generate new ideas, solve problems and think expansively regardless of our occupation.<\/p>\n When we give our children the space and encouragement to explore their creativity, they can become our most inspiring artists, inquisitive scientists and original entrepreneurs. Lotta<\/em> aims to help you do this with a variety of fun, new experiences to feed their imagination and end products that encourage endless free-play.<\/p>\n Make art & craft accessible.<\/strong> Many grownups are scared of art and craft because we believe we don\u2019t have the right skills or aren\u2019t creative \u2014 but you don\u2019t need to be to enjoy activities with your kids. Lotta<\/em> gives you the inspiration and very clear instructions to make them reality. Our projects produce amazing results through very simple processes.<\/p>\n Diversify play.<\/strong> We love iPads,TV and technology too, but we believe that everyone needs a variety of experiences and an opportunity to let our own imaginations take the lead sometimes. Our magazine gives you a lotta ideas for other things to try.<\/p>\n Khali Whatley from Little.Lovely<\/strong>\u00a0\u2018I\u2019m completely smitten.
