Crayola, Red Games Co., and The Smithsonian Institution collaborated on an immersive educational experience for kids! The Crayola Create and Play app‘s new open-world area features a digital Smithsonian Museum and encourages kids to be creative through educational activities.

Players can visit the virtual museum and find a multitude of activities. They can open drawers and discover specimens like gemstones, fossils, and artifacts from the National Museum of Natural History. They can also learn fun facts about each specimen while observing it closely with a microscope. Using parts from the National Air and Space Museum, players can build and customize airplanes and spacesuits and create constellations based on real-life examples. There are tons of games, customization options for your avatar, and more to explore!

The app is now available to download and play on the Apple App Store, Google Play, Amazon App Store, and Samsung Galaxy Store. In the meantime, watch the game trailer from Red Games Co. here.
