Buy a box or subscribe
If you fancy just trying it out, buy a single box for a one-off creative experience. Or sign up for a 3-month, 12-month or every-other-month subscription and receive engaging art projects on the first week of each month.
Each box celebrates an overall art theme with three relevant artists to inspire and enhance creativity! We include LoLA recommendations – from books to the relevant artists in an exhibition, museum or gallery.
Budding Picassos open their beautiful boxes to find exciting art projects, supplies and inspiration to keep their artistic juices flowing for a month! Each box contains artist-inspired activities and creative process ideas.
Lots of Lovely Art boxes include a great range of quality art materials which allow children to experiment and play with new and exciting art supplies each month – from acrylic paints to colourful inks, from charcoal to soft pastels, from aquarelle pencils to glitter glues!
For those who subscribe between the 1-25th of the month: Payment will be taken that day and your box sent immediately. Subsequent payments will then be taken on the 1st of each month, and you will receive boxes in the first week of each month.
For those who subscribe from the 25th of the month onwards: Payment will be taken on the 1st of the following month and your box will be sent in the first week. All subsequent payments will be taken on the 1st of the month and boxes will continue to be sent to you in the first week of each month.
For NEW subscribers, from the 25th January onwards, we will send you February’s box – Friendship Forever, inspired by various artists’ collaborations, mentorships and friendships!

Each box contains three leaflets on three different artists (background information on the artist, as well as clear and simple instructions for art projects) and a leaflet describing the month’s overall theme (for example, Line, Music or Architecture).
“LoLA recommends” lists suggested books and visits to see the relevant artists’ work in museums or exhibitions.
A box may include art materials such as Reeves acrylic paints, Giotto pens, paintbrush, PVA glue, water-colour paper. Each month your supplies change so that you can build up a great set of quality materials to use again and again!

Red Magazine’s own Sarah Tomczak recommended LoLA boxes in her editorial
LoLA box picked for things to ‘make you smile’.
“I admired the clever way famous artists had been woven into the themed materials.” says Francesca from A Little Bird.
“When it’s wet and dark outside, light some candles and embark on an art project.” by Anna Tyzack
“Our at-home art projects just became a whole lot more appealing. Bring it on.” Says Amy Malpass Hahn
Bringing creativity into your home
Each box has its own art-based theme (for example, “Portraits”, “Colour” or “Texture”). Where possible these are linked to exhibitions in galleries and museums. They introduce children to fantastic artists with open-ended art projects.
Children learn about art history and art techniques through artists and the different ways they work. The boxes include clear, simple instructions to help start children off and to give them the confidence to be independently creative.
The projects encourage children to experiment and to explore the use of new art materials… and to have fun! As well as the three main art projects, each box contains a selection of theme-related, process-based art ideas to further stimulate their imagination.
Children embrace a process-oriented approach to the arts, where they create for the sake of creating… Even though each LoLA box explores real art techniques (such as still-life), it emphasises that there is no “wrong” way for these skills to be learnt.
