FatRedCouch Supports GENIUS BRANDS INTERNATIONAL’S Thomas Edison's SECRET Lab App with RELEASE of Educational and Engaging Products FOR KIDS
New Collectible HoloCards Put the Magic of Science into the Hands of Kids
Marin County, California – March 1, 2016 – Bay Area based family and lifestyle media company, FatRedCouch, reimagines the days of Wacky Packages and baseball trading cards with the launch of Secret Lab Kids HoloCards, a new collector series that puts the magic of science into the hands of children of all ages.
The HoloCard series supports FatRedCouch’s recent launch and winner of the Editors Choice award, Thomas Edison Secret Lab Kids mobile app which is available now for iOS, Android, Kindle and NOOK. The app is based on the new children’s television series created and produced by Genius Brands, International, currently available on Comcast and public television stations across the U.S.
The great master of innovation, Thomas Edison, leads the six-pack line up of science superstars that make up the Secret Lab Kids. The animated cards include a backstory that is relatable to children excited by adventures in science, art, music, and technology. The HoloCards, featuring six animated flip collector cards (SRP: $7.99), are available within the app or directly in the FatRedCouch Store.
“We’ve taken a new approach to a favorite childhood pastime of collecting and trading cards by creatively animating our HoloCard series with educational opportunities and new ways for kids to connect with each other to learn,” says FatRedCouch founder Nicole Lundeen. “Kids create by physically engaging and our science-based products combine imagination and intelligent adventure to help inspire future makers and innovators.”
“The HoloCard line for Thomas Edison’s Secret Lab complements the core premise of our brand, which is to demonstrate to kids how much fun science can be,” said Stone Newman, President, Global Consumer Products, Genius Brands International. “We couldn’t be more pleased with the quality and creativity behind the first line of products from FatRedCouch that will encourage kids to use their imaginations.”
The Company launched the Thomas Edison’s Secret Lab mobile app in December reaching thousands of downloads instantly. Packed with interactive explorations that introduce kids to some of the world’s greatest inventors, the app goes beyond chalkboard lessons in science. From the interactive laboratory to games like Kafloooey Ka-Splat and Honey Bee Spree, the app creatively teaches science by infusing games, music, and actual experiments that bring to life the episode clips available within the app. To learn more about the app, visit Thomas Edison’s Secret Lab on FatRedCouch.
