Overview

GeoPeople(R) is a line of plush toys that are shaped like geometric figures. These toys will teach preschool and early elementary school children about color, shape, and sound/word recognition. The GeoPeople(R) concept will be further expanded through the launch of a virtual world called GeoWorld. A code is entered from the plush toy, and the toy comes alive in a virtual world populated by other children's GeoPeople(R) characters.
