Timbuktu creates mobile toys for creative learning. We create unique learning experiences that blend storytelling, design and technology. Timbuktu promotes imagination as a tool to discover the world. Our games don't overstimulate children but let them learn through creative play in a peaceful and relaxing mode. We also empower kids through digital camps that help them design new projects and solve problems around them. All our products are designed in Milan and developed in San Francisco.
