BARI, Italy, Dec. 4, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Marshmallow Games, an innovative leader in educational app development for children, proudly announces a significant update to its flagship app, Smart Tales.

Smart Tales, globally recognized for its educational prowess, now extends its reach to children up to 11 years old, widening its audience from its original demographic of kids aged 2 to 6.
