The Story Behind Tinkers

Tinkers was born out of a mother’s mission to bring meaningful play back into children’s lives.

As her three children grew, she noticed a growing gap in the Egyptian toy market — a lack of engaging, hands-on experiences. With screens taking over and creative play fading, she set out to make a difference.

Fifteen years ago, she launched a unique venue offering science experiments, art workshops, cooking sessions, team-building games, and even camping adventures. It became a vibrant destination where children could explore, imagine, and learn through play.

When the pandemic forced the venue to shut down, a new idea took root: why not bring these experiences into children’s homes? That idea sparked the creation of DIY kits — educational, creative, and full of wonder.

In 2020, these kits became bestsellers on Amazon and in major toy stores. Now, in a new chapter, the brand is relaunching as Tinkers — complete with a dedicated factory and a growing team, all run by the same family that started it all.

Tinkers is more than a toy company — it’s a commitment to inspiring curiosity, a love of science and nature, and the power of hands-on discovery.
