Redan unveils art-focused kids’ magazine, Skoodle

Published on: 12th July 2023

Aimed at the Primary age group, readers can sketch and doodle with popular characters including Barbie, Monster High, Piñata Smashlings, Rainbocorns and more.

Redan Publishing is launching Skoodle, a new multi-character, art and design focused magazine bursting with imaginative ideas for children who love to be creative.

Skoodle is packed with different ways for children to independently explore and express their artistic abilities including fashion designing, sticker mosaics, 3D papercrafts, doodling challenges, simple sketching activities and much more.

The publisher says the new magazine interlaces current art trends with popular licensed character art and encourages readers to use their imagination, express themselves and celebrate their own creativity. The 4-weekly magazine will provide an escape from everyday stresses, boosting mental health and wellbeing.

Redan is expanding on the marketing usually embarked upon for a magazine launch and for the first time is running a pre-roll advertising campaign on YouTube commencing from the launch date. Readers can see the new advert below.

In addition, Skoodle is ‘taking over’ UK Mums.TV for two weeks with exclusive competitions, free activity downloads and influencer reviews.

Becky Mitchell, Redan’s managing editor, added: “We’re extremely excited about the launch of Skoodle. It has been in development for many months and to see it in print is such a great feeling. My hope is that Skoodle will give readers the opportunity to try new ideas, be resourceful, inventive and develop their creative confidence. With opportunities both on and off the page, Skoodle is bursting with ideas for readers to explore, experiment and – most importantly – have lots of fun.”

Becky went on to say how pleased she was with the striking Skoodle logo. “Developing the Skoodle branded letters page and activity pages and inviting our readers to join in and become part of the Skoodle Squad is really exciting too,” she added.

The first issue of Skoodle magazine is on sale from 12th July, available at newsagents and most major supermarkets and convenience stores. It is also available online.
