Regina sees Ptichka through the child and the grown-up: age, perception, and emotional tone.
The magazine we wished existed.
Ptichka is a print magazine for children ages 3–6 and their grown-ups. It's made to become a shared memory in Russian. Inside you’ll find stories, games, and beauty. No noise, no screens, no lessons.
Take a look inside.
Ptichka isn't here to teach or test. It tells stories with humour, with respect for a child's mind, and with an eye for the beauty of the world.
Ptichka is the real thing.
Ptichka was made by mothers raising children between countries and languages. It's lovely to open together. You'll want to leave it out on the table. And it's worth the wait, because it comes in the mail.
Not just for reading. For making, too.
In Ptichka, there are pages to draw on, pages to cut and paste, and favourite pages to come back to again and again.
Russian for closeness, not for class.
No lectures, no clichés. We keep the language for laughing, for reading together, for shared memories and for everything we haven't thought up yet.
A page for the grown-ups.
Ptichka isn’t only a window into your child’s world. It is also a small, quiet moment for you.
Windows into a bigger world.
Ptichka is collaged from illustrations and real photographs — from make-believe and real life — so a child wants to look closely, notice things, and turn what they see into something of their own.

Who makes Ptichka.
We're Nastiaa, Masha, and Regina. Three mothers and co-founders of Ptichka, each looking at the same magazine from a different side: through the words, through the form, and through the way a child sees, hears, and feels.
Masha
Masha looks after the visual world: design, illustration, print, and the magazine's shape.
Nastia
Nastia pulls the project together into a system: strategy, launch, the website.
She writes the stories, too.

FAQ
Here are answers to the questions we hear most often about Ptichka.
Who is Ptichka for?
Ptichka is a print magazine for children ages 3–6 and the grown-ups who read, look, and play alongside them.
What language is it in?
For now, Ptichka is entirely in Russian.
It was created for families who live between countries, cultures, and languages, so a bilingual edition may come later.

We plan to publish Ptichka four times a year. First, we are opening the waitlist. Then you will be able to pre-order the first issue.
How will the first launch work?
The first step is to join the waitlist. You will then be the first to hear when pre-orders open — including the price, shipping timelines, and other launch details.
When do pre-orders open?
In summer 2026. If you are already on the waitlist, you will hear first.
Where do you ship?
We plan to ship Ptichka worldwide. When pre-orders open, we will share exactly which countries we can ship to, how long delivery takes, and how much it costs.
What do you do with my data?
