Squishlanders Hug Each Other to Celebrate Winning the 2011 Creative Child Award
Hugs all around! As those who play in this fabulous, virtual world know, the fun-loving Sqwishlanders are always smiling and having fun, so all the hugs must be to celebrate an especially happy occasion. And it is… the judges at Creative Child just bestowed Sqwishland with its 2011 Media of the Year Award.
To receive a Creative Child award, products are thoughtfully reviewed by the very folks who buy them – moms, educators and caregivers. Only one product per category can win a Media of the Year award. For each category, additional winners are awarded either the Preferred Choice Award or the Seal of Excellence. All winners must exceed expectations for nurturing creativity and education in children.

Sqwishland is an online virtual world that caters to a child’s vivid imagination. Derivative of the physical goods sold worldwide, Sqwishland allows children to create their own personal avatar, explore the world, safely meet new kids across the world, take care of their own pet Sqwishlander, and engage in an endless amount of quests. However, they must beware of the evil Sqwabbles that set out with the goal of tainting the good name that is Sqwishland.
Kids can acquire in-game currency, Sqwash, by obtaining membership, purchasing them separately, or becoming a frequent visitor to Sqwishland. Acquiring Sqwash can enable them to purchase costumes for their avatar, feed and care for their pet Sqwishlanders, play exclusive games, and even buy themselves some scuba gear to take a plunge into Sqwishland’s deep blue sea!
