| for kids will be spearhead towards educators. The development of this conceptualized envi-ronment will lead the |
| users to build an application towards a distributed resource available to a group of children. The aim of this paper is |
| to develop an edutainment framework to be used as a tool for non-programming users especially educators for |
| preschool children to develop digital games. Furthermore, it will identify the need for the used of diverse media |
