Creator of preschool series Blue’s Clues, Traci Paige Johnson and film producer Caroline Baron launch Yummico, a new interactive children’s media company focusing on digital games, interactive shows, apps, and e-books.
The first project, Yummiloo, teaches kids healthy eating habits through the Yum Yums, a group of creatures that live in a world made entirely of food. Kids learn the basics of nutrition and food identification via story-based games. The Yummiloo Rainbow Power app, developed with Night & Day Studios, debuted March 20 on iTunes. Other content to follow includes The Adventures of Ash & Ollie, which teaches lifestyle habits such as potty training; The App Police, which teaches children about tablets and digital usage; and Edison The Invention Detective, which teaches kids about science and problem-solving.
