Disney Publishing Worldwide’s new magazine, Wondertime, will be on newsstands Feb. 14, carrying nearly 70 pages of advertising, including a double gatefold from Hasbro. Geared towards helping moms understand how children are learning and growing, Wondertime, the first new U.S. magazine from Disney Publishing Worldwide in more than a decade, looks to “create a new niche” in the parenting category.
The magazine mixes playful learning activities and everyday adventures with insights into the ways children develop physically, socially, intellectually, creatively, and emotionally - focusing on the joys rather than the how-tos of parenting.
The quarterly magazine plans to increase to six times a year in 2007 and 10 times a year thereafter. It has a rate base of 300,000.
Fairchild Publications also recently launched a magazine for mothers, dubbed Cookie. Like Wondertime, Cookie too avoids the traditional, how-to aspect of most parenting magazines. It is less a parenting magazine than a lifestyle guide for parents, the company says.
