Our Story

It’s shocking how little innovation the world of early childhood has seen in the past 50 years.

As I was becoming a dad, I knew something had to change. After all, the first few years of our lives are when we’re the most curious, open to new possibilities and in need of stimulation... Oh! But not on a screen. Screen time is fun, in limited quantities, but it has its own downsides. It’s therefore clear that we need alternatives.
So what if we took the best that screens and tech have to offer, and combined it with a familiar format, accessible to young people, and with endless types of content, games and interactive experiences?

Well that’s exactly what we’re doing at Tokidos. Having started with a personal need, it turned into a screen-free gaming platform where kids between 3 and 8 can enjoy interactive stories, educational games and social games.

We’re creating the first tech and gaming platform, dedicated to kids, but that also allows grown ups to join the fun and create memorable moments all together.

We’re just getting started, and have ambitions THIS big. Join us on this great adventure by getting your very own Tokidos, reaching out for partnerships, sending us feedback on how we can improve (we massively appreciate those!) and spreading the word.


More than being here to have an impact, we want every single kid that gets their hands on Tokidos, to cherish special moments, designed just for them!


I hope we cross paths somehow.
With much love and TokidosPower!
