Hellosaurus

New York, NY

Hellosaurus is reinventing children’s programming for touchscreen audiences, initially focusing on kids between the ages of 2 and 8. Rooted in early childhood education principles of engagement, with a belief that children’s content should leverage mobile device capabilities so kids play instead of just watch, Hellosaurus is developing not just interactive kids’ shows but also the tools for creators worldwide to make their own shows for its platform. This easy-to-use software platform includes tools that empower creators of high-quality kids programming -- especially those that have been using YouTube as a primary content hub -- to move beyond passive content as well as a single distribution platform to share creations with families everywhere. The Birthday Show is the first interactive show on Hellosaurus. It debuted in May 2020 and is free to play on tablets, computers, and phones at www.thebirthday.show (also at www.hellosaurus.com). In the coming months, Hellosaurus will be released as a native iOS application that will become the centralized touchscreen experience for all interactive content built with the Hellosaurus tools. This mobile application will be a curated, kid-safe, and ad-free experience that keeps kids actively learning and entertained on a moment's notice. Access to all interactive content will be offered to families as a monthly subscription, with subscription proceeds shared directly with creators. Hellosaurus is made with love by people who brought you HQ Trivia, Toca Boca, Peekaboo Barn, and Sprout’s Sunny Side Up. For more, visit www.hellosaurus.com.
