A fantastic new publication hit stands across the UK and Ireland in July in the shape of Num Noms magazine from Kennedy Publishing. Based on the hugely popular MGA collectable toy line, the new monthly 36-page magazine is aimed at girls aged 5-9 and is jam-packed with puzzles, colouring, competitions and exclusive Num Noms branded gifts and stickers. Num Noms are uniquely scented, collectable characters, which can be mixed and matched to make endless scent combinations, and the magazine plays to this with fun recipes, cute crafts and a scented element each issue. The new magazine has a strong presence at retail, having secured listings and promotions at key major retailers and independents. “We are delighted to be working with MGA on the new Num Noms magazine,” says Kennedy Publishing’s Licensing Manager, Sophie Rowlands. “A cupful of cuteness and a spoonful of surprise make Num Noms. We’ve added a generous helping of fun, a packet of puzzles, and the sweetest of stories to make the perfect recipe for Num Noms Magazine. The high quality editorial and design, combined with strong support at retail, puts us in an excellent position to launch a successful magazine based on these sweet-smelling collectables.”
