\u201cPBS KIDS wants to surround a child \u2013 whether at home, in school or on-the-go \u2013 with opportunities for learning and exploration,\u201d said Lesli Rotenberg, SVP, Children\u2019s Media, PBS. \u201cAs parents look for positive, educational media choices on a variety of platforms, PBS KIDS provides a trusted, safe haven for preschoolers and positive role models who learn alongside, and with, a child.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe CURIOUS GEORGE Coloring Book App for iPhone and iPod touch extends a growth strategy centered on launching innovative new content, including original video, games, and apps,\u201d said Jason Seiken, SVP, PBS Interactive. \u201cWe\u2019re leading the industry by embedding interactive games into popular shows such as WORDGIRL (PBSKIDSGO.org\/video) and we have other innovations in the pipeline. Over two years, traffic to PBS KIDS sites has nearly doubled, which is proof that kids can\u2019t get enough of PBS on digital platforms.\u201d<\/p>\n

The CURIOUS GEORGE Coloring Book App was developed in partnership with Mobile Deluxe and series producers, NBC Universal. Features include:
\u2022 Color wheel with a palette of 45 colors and a set of virtual stickers.
\u2022 Forty-eight unique coloring pages. <\/p>\n

\u2022 Personal art gallery to store favorite pictures and add to Photos with a single tap, including the capability to email artwork, upload to parents\u2019 Facebook pages, or set as the wallpaper. <\/p>\n

The CURIOUS GEORGE Coloring Book App is available for $2.99 from the App Store on iPhone and iPod touch or at www.itunes.com\/appstore\/.<\/p>\n

PBS KIDS is in development on a series of educational iPhone and iPod touch apps from popular and Emmy-award winning series SID THE SCIENCE KID, MISTER ROGERS’ NEIGHBORHOOD, MARTHA SPEAKS, and SUPER WHY. The new apps will be designed to enable children to explore the series\u2019 curriculum goals anywhere, anytime, including language development, early reading, science, artistic expression, and social emotional development. <\/p>\n
