TORONTO – The application Traditional Songs, designed and developed by Groupe Média TFO for children aged two to six, was awarded the best apps for children Silver Award at the Best Mobile App Awards, along with Play my Way and Good night Mowgli.

“Our vision is to develop digital products to entertain and educate children and their parents,” said Laurent Guérin, TFO chief content web and TV officer, in a release. “With Traditional Songs, we wanted to give the classics a fresh twist, so we adapted songs such as Il court, il court, le furet, Sur le pont d'Avignon and Meunier tu dors into a new, interactive format. Children can tag along as Mini TFO hosts Josée, Lexie and Louis sing and explore a virtual animated 2D world. The result is a dynamic, engaging experience for both parents and children, who can learn the songs and have fun with the game version, filled with different worlds.”

The Mini TFO world is a range of educational and recreational content that has been carefully selected for preschoolers, adds the release. A Groupe Média TFO production, Mini TFO provides an interactive experience for kindergarteners and offers entertainment content of short duration including games, applications and series broadcast on television, on the web and on YouTube. Mini TFO is the fruit of the labour of a talented team wholly dedicated to children's development.

Provincial educational service TFO serves 2 million students and 30,000 teachers across Ontario and Canada and operates the most popular French-language YouTube Channel in Canada
