If the notification relates to a portion of the filing checked above, identify the Item(s) to which the notification relates:

PART I — REGISTRANT INFORMATION

PART II — RULES 12b-25(b) AND (c)

If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should be completed. (Check box if appropriate)

PART III — NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10 - K, 20 - F, 11 - K, 10 - Q, 10 - D, N - SAR, N - CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

Taomee Holdings Limited (the “Company”) is unable to file its annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2015 (the “2015 Annual Report”) within the prescribed time period due to the following reasons:

As previously disclosed, the Company entered into Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of December 11, 2015 (the “Merger Agreement”), with Orient TM Parent Limited, an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Parent”), and Orient TM Merger Limited, an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”) and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. The consummation of the Merger is subject to certain customary closing conditions, including the approval of shareholders of the Company. Immediately following the completion of the Merger, the Company will cease to be a publicly traded company and will instead become a privately-held company wholly owned by Parent. After the Merger is completed, the Company’s ordinary shares (the “Shares”) will cease to be listed on The New York Stock Exchange, and the Company will terminate the registration of the Shares under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, by filing a Form 15 with the SEC. Accordingly, after the effective time of the Merger, the Company would no longer be required to file periodic reports with the SEC or otherwise be subject to other disclosure obligations under U.S. federal securities laws.

The Company is currently seeking to cause the Merger to be effected as soon as possible, but a definitive closing date has not yet been fixed. Meanwhile, the Company is preparing the 2015 Annual Report and would need additional time to complete the 2015 Annual Report. If the Merger is completed before the Company files the 2015 Annual Report, the Company may request that it not file the 2015 Annual Report for the reason set forth in the foregoing paragraph.
