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!
