Creative Wonders

**Creative Wonders** was an educational software corporation from 1994 to 1999. It created computer games based on children's characters like *Sesame Street*, *Madeline*, *Schoolhouse Rock!*, *Arthur*, *Little Bear*, *Dr. Seuss* and *ABC World Reference*. It was a Joint-Venture between Electronic Arts and the American Broadcasting Company.

## History

Creative Wonders started out in 1994 as a division of Electronic Arts called *EA Kids* before renaming to Creative Wonders. Creative Wonders was responsible for creating popular games like the *Sesame Street* and *Madeline* series. In 1995, Creative Wonders teamed with ABC to create the *ABC World Reference Series*, a series of encyclopedias and atlases on CD-ROM.

In 1998, Creative Wonders' assets were purchased by The Learning Company and was folded into the latter, and later Mattel Interactive.
