Educational aspects

FableScapes has been designed for preschool children and kids up to 9-10 years old.

This app was developed taking into consideration studies and research in Psychology. This supports also the educational component of the game, favoring the development of cognitive abilities of young users.

In preschoolers, FableScapes encourages the development of memory and the understanding of temporality, in other words, the meaning of earlier and after.

In kids, it gives the opportunity to stimulate the development of narrative thinking: which is the complex activity of elaborating and understanding events and giving them order, connection and meaning.

Also, it encourages storytelling, which is the activity believed to be the driving force of language development.

The best use of FableScapes is for parents and kids to play it together.

Creating a story or just building original and graceful compositions, are engaging activities even for an adult. Both children and parents can discover and exercise their creativity and push imagination to new limits. Not to mention, they will spend quality time together and intensify the listening and positives exchanges.
