Playnormous Video Games receive Creative Child Magazine's 2010 Media of the Year Award

As childhood obesity rates continue to shock the nation, parents and teachers alike are seeking resources to help children learn about making healthier choices. Playnormous, an award-winning producer of research-based health video games and media, puts the power of good health back into the hands of children through creative gameplay.  And parents agree.  The company's first CD-ROM, Playnormous: Fun For A Change™ Health Video Games, has been awarded Creative Child Magazine's 2010 Media of the Year Award.

Creative Child Magazine is a national bi-monthly publication that provides parents with the latest information on how to nurture their child's creativity. Once a year moms, music educators and early education professionals review hundreds of products with the goal of determining those that best help parents raise well-balanced children.  Award winners are published in the November issue of Creative Child Magazine just in time for the holiday shopping season.

"Because health and physical education is being eliminated from school districts all over the country, many parents are looking for ways to integrate health at home," explains Playnormous Director of Marketing Melanie M. Lazarus, MPH. "The ultimate goal of Playnormous is to prevent childhood obesity and type 2 diabetes using media kids love to play and adults love to use. Winning this prestigious award is direct proof from consumers that we're doing just that."
