Immediate Media Co has just launched PJ Masks Magazine, following the adventures of Connor, Amaya and Greg and their alter egos, Catboy, Owlette and Gekko – a crime-fighting trio who “sometimes make mistakes, but always try to do what’s right”.
PJ Masks Magazine follows the heroes of the popular children’s animated TV series on their missions with puzzle power and action challenges, arts and crafts and special hero training. The first issue has a free Action Pack, including a wrist launcher, camera, key fob and keys. Readers also get 65 stickers, a PJ Masks poster, a Cat-Car cut out and a 3D board game to make and play.
Aimed at 3 to 5 year olds, the magazine encourages children to learn valuable lessons along the way; supporting physical development, role play, imagination, creativity and understanding the values of friendship and teamwork.
• PJ Masks Magazine is on sale now in all good newsagents and supermarkets, priced at £2.99
