We are thrilled to announce that HUE Animation Studio is a multi-award-winner in the Creative Play Awards 2019, which were announced this week. HUE Animation Studio is the winner of the categories Girls Craft Kit 8-11, Teaching Resources 8-11 and SEN Toys and Resources 8-11, and highly commended in Boys Craft Kit 8-11.

The Creative Play Awards are sponsored and organised by Creative Steps magazine, which promotes creative play as vital in a child’s development. The results of these awards recognise the best products available to enhance creative development in young children and are beneficial to the consumer when making purchasing decisions.

HUE Animation Studio is a movie-making starter kit which includes stop motion software, a HUE HD camera and a 60-page book full of colorful and creative ideas. Designed for children aged between 8 and 13, it allows students to learn through creativity, collaboration and critical thinking.

Here’s what the independent testers in homes, schools and childcare settings said about HUE Animation Studio:

“Exactly the type of product I had been looking for! Had investigated using stop motion apps on iPads, but they were not appropriate. HUE Animation Studio was easy to use in our after school club and a great resource for a fun project!“

“HUE Animation Studio is perfect for a group activity. The set-up process is super easy, with a really interesting book packed full of ideas for creating your own animations. It’s a great way to promote learning and creativity and children can work together to create projects. Easy to add music and edit videos. Highly recommended!“

John Hopley, editor of Creative Steps, commented: “We feel it is vital to have the products tested by end-users and have sent out more than 100 products to independent testers in homes, schools and childcare settings around the country. The competition was very strong, showing the importance of learning through creative play for children and the products that allow them to do so.”
