Smith Micro Software
Productivity and Graphics Group announced a partnership with premiere
distributor of wholesale crafts supplies, Darice Inc., in which both companies
will feature coordinated Sock Friends puppet characters in their products.
Consumers of all
ages will now be able to bring their imaginations to life using Smith Micro’s
award-winning application titled Sock Puppets Complete, as well as through
physical Sock Friends Puppets™ creation kits by Darice.
“Sock Puppets has
made a great name for itself among kid-friendly apps for entertainment, as well
as in the education space,” stated president of Darice, Mike Birkholm. “With
this partnership, kids and crafters can create custom puppet characters at home
and bring them to life on their iOS smartphone and tablet.”
Smith Micro will
feature in-app Sock Puppet content based on the physical Sock Friends
characters available from Darice through retail and online stores. The new Sock
Puppet content will include four different themes and ten additional sock
puppet personalities. Darice will distribute the physical puppets and each
puppet will be available as a virtual puppet in the Sock Puppets app. Original
in-app characters from Smith Micro will also be available as physical sock
puppets in fun Sock Friends Puppets Kits.
“We’ve enjoyed
seeing kids, parents and teachers latch onto the Sock Puppets app and have a
blast creating their own animated content for entertainment, education and
developmental purposes,” commented senior product manager of productivity and
graphics at Smith Micro, Steve Cooper. “Our partnership with Darice enables
users to complement their in-app Sock Puppets with physical sock puppet
characters created using Darice craft packs — and vice versa — bringing
physical and virtual worlds together.”
The Sock Puppets app
lets users seamlessly create animated lip-synched videos and share them on
social media feeds such as Facebook and YouTube. With Sock Puppets Complete,
users can make stories with multiple puppet characters, scenery, props, and
backgrounds by simply hitting the record button to direct puppets that
automatically lip-synch to the user’s voice.
Sock Puppets is
currently available through the iTunes App Store in two versions: Sock Puppets
free version and Sock Puppets Complete for $3.99. Specific Sock Friends-themed
content is now available as a content upgrade for $1.99.
Sock Friends Puppets
Creation Kits by Darice are currently available for purchase online, as well as
in a variety of retail stores. In order to purchase online or to find a nearby
