LoLA Boxes are a magical monthly art box for children of all ages, bringing a regular experience of art and artists into their lives through their own letterbox. These fun boxes are the latest offering from Lots of Lovely Art (LoLA), an organisation who also provide art activities including workshops and parties based around real artists, and support children in experimenting with a wide range of materials.

Founders, sisters-in-law Alara & Selina, believe that process-based artist-inspired experiences are an important way to develop problem-solving skills, analytical thinking and self-confidence. They aim to reach as many children as possible; and what could be handier for parents than a carefully curated box, regularly delivered to the door?

Each box contains three artist-based projects, four process-art ideas and a selection of quality materials to enable children to be independently creative at home. These fun kits are created with the following in mind:

INSPIRATION: each box has its own art-based theme (for example, Portraits, Colour, Texture) which introduces children to three fantastic artists. EDUCATION: Children will learn about art history and new art techniques, with clear simple instructions to help start them off on their own work. IMAGINATION: Projects encourage children to experiment and explore new art materials...and to have fun! PROCESS: Children can embrace creating for the sake of creating, and enjoy the experience!

You can order a single box, or a 3, 6 or 12 month subscription. LoLA Boxes are currently delivered within the UK only, but fear not – this will quickly change!

“These boxes are a fantastic way to guarantee a steady source of inspiration for little artists!”
