FableVision was founded in 1996 as a sister company to eLearning media company Cosmic Blender, in Watertown, Massachusetts. The company became independent in 1999 through a purchase by one of its founders Peter H. Reynolds. In November 2006, FableVision moved to Boston's harborside, where it is co-located in Boston Children's Museum on Children's Wharf. The building, now named the Yawkey Center for Children and Learning also houses several other learner-centered organizations, such as JumpStart, Museum Institute for Teaching Science (MITS), and Citizen Schools.
The Blue Bunny is a children's book and toy shop located in Dedham, Massachusetts, founded and owned by the Reynolds brothers.

The members formed the Consortium in order to support constructivist learning strategies.
