There’s no school today for most of Massachusetts as a snowstorm travels through the area. Most kids have a game plan for this day off: sledding, sleeping, snowball fights, TV, and lots and lots of hot chocolate. But until the heavy snow passes and kids can play outside, we here at FableVision have a few game suggestions to try out on this wintery day. All the games have been made by FableVision, so yes, we are a tad (or totally) bias.
SparkBridge Interactive, FableVision's social entrepreneurship co-venture with Vancouver Aquarium, has been busy delivering award-winning mobile learning games into informal learning environments for over a year now. Building on that success, the team is expanding into retail venues.
FableVision's special Boston Book Festival edition Stories that Move Open House greeted creative minds and book lovers from all over Boston. The evening was co-hosted with storytelling partners United Way, Reading Is Fundamental, and the National Writing Project. Media stations around the studio highlighted some of FableVision's favorite projects, including Our Tree, and interactive eBook apps "Water Wonders" and "Our Book by Us!"

It's that time again, another new season means a new issue for our Ranger Rick’s Tree House app with the National Wildlife Federation! The issue went live over the weekend, which is always a great way to start a week. We've had some great news recently: Ranger Rick's Tree House is a Silver Winner in the 2013 National Parenting Publications Awards (NAPPA) Children’s Products competition's Virtual Category. We were also recently featured in the Association of American Publishers' blog for our work with the National Wildlife Federation! You can read the post here.
