More Jumpee Fan Mail!

JumpStart — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 22:01:32 +0000

Frankie gets a lot of great fan mail here at JumpStart, so we wanted to share the latest batch with you!

We received more great ideas from Bella, who sent us a bunch of cool drawings of clothes and furniture that she would like to see!

Bella's idea for new furniture!

We also heard from some new friends!

Ismael drew us a spaceship and a toaster! He is quite the artist at three years old!

Ismael's spaceship!

Alexandrea wrote us a nice letter too! She has all sorts of great ideas that we hope we can see around JumpStart soon! Plus, she told us that she and her friend have fun playing JumpStart together! Don’t forget to access your children’s buddy codes so that they can play with their friends too!

If you are Bella, Ismael or Alexandrea’s parents, make sure to tell your child to check the mail soon. Frankie insisted on writing back himself!

We love fan mail! Please keep it coming!

More JumpStart Jumpee Mail

JumpStart — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 20:00:17 +0000

A little while ago, we received a wonderful piece of fan mail from a girl named Bella, who had a lot of great ideas, some of which the JumpStart Team created inside our online world. In that letter, Bella told us to watch for a letter to come in with other ideas from her friend, Shannon. True to their word, we recently received a hand-drawn note from Shannon.

The producers took a look at Shannon’s letter and decided that Shannon has some great ideas for JumpStart.com too, which you might see created for our world! Take a look at some of her ride and world suggestions; she’s taken it to a whole new level:

Check out the proposed rides from Shannon!

If Shannon’s parents are out there, please tell her to keep an eye out for a reply that Frankie offered to write!

We love to hear from all of our customers; please keep the feedback coming. We love connecting with JumpStart parents on our blog, Facebook page, and discussion boards, but it is super exciting when we have the chance to hear from JumpStart kids directly. If you have a little artist of your own who prefers to communicate with pictures, feel free to send us mail anytime:

New Concert Venue Arrives at JumpStart

JumpStart — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 21:29:10 +0000

Tucked behind the Brain Training Arcade in DownTown JumpStart, you will find a brand new building – the JumpStart Amphitheater! It’s the destination for Jumpeez who would like to enjoy a toe-tapping performance from one of JumpStart’s talented performers or groups.

Want to check out the new venue? Look for the gate just to the left of the Brain Training Arcade. When you see the giant spotlights, you’ll know you’ve arrived.

Keep an eye on the clocks outside to find out when the next performance is scheduled to begin. Then, head on in and grab a seat in the front row.

Or bound up to the stands for a view of the whole scene.

The JumpStart Amphitheater is the perfect spot to make friends with some fellow music-loving Jumpeez, so be sure to say hello and show off your dance moves while you are there!

This exciting new venue is here to stay, so tell us, what performances would you like to see? Perhaps Kisha singing one of our favorite JumpStart tunes, Echolocation? Or maybe a bit of classical music? Comment below to let us know!

Coming Soon: Personalized Rooms!

JumpStart — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 23:08:52 +0000

In the neighborhood section of JumpStart.com these days, Jumpeez can design a house, select buddies to be their neighbors, choose an awesome Fun Zone and invite pals over to party! But even with all that excitement, there is one thing that seems to be missing…the ability to decorate the inside of a house! Based on your feedback, we’ve decided to open the doors and let Jumpeez fully decorate the interiors of their houses. We are thrilled to announce that in just a few weeks, the Rooms Store will open for business, offering all sorts of stylish, unique and fun indoor decorations!

An Ancient World Theme

The Rooms Store, expected to be a sub-section of the House Hut in DownTown, will have a huge selection of items including seating, beds, lightings, gadgets, decors, floors, wallpapers and more. After all, designing the perfect room is a great way for kids to express their individuality!

Plenty of Home Decor Options at the House Hut!

Mix-Matched Decoration

From Egyptian-style wallpaper to a daisy-inpired coffee table to a 4 poster princess bed, the Rooms store will surely have something perfect for even the pickiest of Jumpeez. And you can be sure that we will add more choices as time continues! In fact, rumor has it that outer space and rock star themes may be available in the future!

Hmmm... choices, choices, choices.

Once Jumpeez have designed the perfect home, they will be able to invite their buddies inside to visit. So tell your kids to get those creative juices flowing – personalized rooms will be available soon!
