BIG KIDS: Tiny Worlds

Mosaic of images of and from Big Kids Magazine: Tiny Worlds edition showing various small houses included.
While I was waiting in line at the newsagents to pay my bill, I spotted this magazine in the kids' section: what caught my eye at first was that it seemed quite out of place in amongst all the pink and plastic.

What made me pick it up was the tag line:
Magazine with 'Issue 7 205: Tiny worlds' written on the cover, next to a mini hot cross bun on a saucer.
I was impressed. I have heard over and over again that our hobby is dying and children just aren't interested, so it was heartening to find a kid's art magazine focusing on tiny things.

 Plus there's a pull-out poster. Always a good thing.

.Well done all round, Big Kids Magazine.
