pin it to win it ~ Anorak Magazine

Anorak Magazine

I’m thrilled to be teaming up with Gibbs Smith Books and Anorak magazine, a London based kids magazine with the perfect tagline, “The Happy Magazine for Kids.” As a mom that loves the conveniences of today, but sometimes longs for the simplicity of yesterday, this magazine rings home for me.

Founder, Cathy Olmedillas, describes her love of vintage books and annuals in a recent post on Gibbs Smith new blog, Red Barn, as the inspiration for her magazine. If you love vintage, you simply must hop over and read how she was inspired to launch her magazine. She even shares some of her favorite vintage authors and illustrations. It’s just lovely!

My boys recently got to spend some time with Anorak. It’s so vibrant and creative, packed full of ideas, stories, word puzzles, coloring pages and a even a few crafts. This is a magazine to be written in, read, and yes… dare I say it, even cut out of. Your kids will love it!

    Although the magazine has a totally vintage feel it is also totally modern which I love. My family loves the graphics, the colors and the stories. I’m so glad it is easier to find now!

      Sharon – totally agree! My kids thought it was so cool that it was just for them and they could color in it and cut out of it! ;)
