History
Logo from 1994 to 1995 as EA Kids.
Creative Wonders started out in 1994 as a division of
Electronic Arts called EA Kids before renaming to Creative Wonders.
[1] Creative Wonders was responsible for creating popular games like the Sesame Street and Madeline series, and took over publishing of "EA 3D Atlas" which had been created by The Multimedia Corporation in London (a
BBC company). In 1995, Creative Wonders teamed with
ABC to create the ABC World Reference Series , a series of encyclopedias and atlases on CD-ROM based on "EA 3D Atlas", produced by The Multimedia Corporation and incorporating content and branding from
ABC .
In 1998, Creative Wonders' assets were purchased by
The Learning Company , and sold
ABC and
Electronic Arts to that company, and, later in 1999, it was folded into the latter, and later
Mattel Interactive .
