Bees love wildflowers.
We can all help bees, butterflies and other pollinators by growing plants they like.
Lottie is planning to plant a wildflower meadow at the back of her garden this Spring.
If you don’t have a garden you can grow wildflowers in planter boxes or pots.
Find out more about how you too can help bees in Lottie Loves Nature: Bee-ware!

This past autumn I went to #kewgardens and discovered The Hive, a marvellous visual tribute to Britain’s honeybees. 🐝Designed by UK based artist Wolfgang Buttress, it was originally created for the UK Pavilion at the 2015 Milan Expo, it now lives in Kew Gardens- surrounded by wildflowers to celebrate the environments that real bees need to thrive.

A while ago I came across this paper cut-out theatre in a toy shop in Soho. It’s called ‘Pantomime Theatre with Cinderella’. 👑🐭
I took the photo on a whim as the toy theatre had a lovely antique feel to it. Finding the photo today made me realise even more how much I miss the theatre and seeing live performances. I look forward to when the theatres will be opening their doors and we can once again enjoy the arts with our children, family and friends. 🎭💃🏻🩰🎤🎸🎺🎶🎶

James Brown is the brilliant illustrator of our new eco-adventure series Lottie Loves Nature. The Lottie Loves Nature series is filled with James’ lively illustrations, fun notebook doodles and beautiful photorealistic drawings.
Here are some fun facts about James:

💚 When James was eight Anthony Browne came to his school and drew an amazing gorilla. He decided then and there, to become an author/illustrator himself.

💚💚 James’ favourite thing about looking at nature is spotting patterns in textures, like faces in the bark of a tree.

💚💚💚 Our illustrator creator study will soon be available to download from our website. Perfect for home school author/illustrator studies.

Jane Clarke is the talented children’s book author behind our new eco-adventure series Lottie Loves Nature. Here are some fun facts about Jane:

💚 When Jane was a child she wanted to be an acrobat. She spent a lot of her time hanging by her knees from a trapeze that her dad had attached to a branch of the damson tree in the garden!

💚💚 Jane was once an archaeologist. She was also a history teacher and a library assistant before she became a writer. Being a writer is the best job ever!

Take your little ones outside for a Lottie Loves N

Take your little ones outside for a Lottie Loves Nature mini-beast survey. Running and playing outdoors, even when it’s cold, gets children moving and keeps them away from their screens. I find being outdoors for at least 30 minutes during the day has a positive effect on everyone’s mood in my family, especially now that the days are still quite short. #lottielovesnature 🐝👏👏🏩

Today is the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year, when the sun is at it’s lowest point in the sky. When this happens the Earth’s North Pole is pointing away from the sun making it much colder in the Northern Hemisphere and the days much shorter.
Picture from ‘Beaver’s Big Adventure’ by Magnus Weightman. Here our friend Beaver is flying through the beautiful Northern skies on a hot air balloon looking for his home.

‘Children interested in the world around them and how to protect it can learn a lot from’Lottie Loves Nature’ by Jane Clarke and illustrated by @jamesbrownillustrates .
It combines a charming story about Lottie’s efforts to get her neighbours involved in caring for local wildlife with interesting facts and even an assortment of activities to try out at home.
There’s plenty here to feed children’s curiosity and keep them busy in the absence of events and parties over the festive season.’ The Scotsman

Posted @withregram • @magnusweightman_illustrator Look what I just found - one of my very first Beaver sketches. Hidden away in what I thought was one of the children’s sketch books.
