Built for kids, by kids at heart.

Who we are

We’re a team of designers, developers, thinkers, doers and office dogs. We make digital and physical toys that kids (and parents) love. We’re powered by a love for play and the office espresso machine.

Toca Boca logo Proudly Canadian, Sago Mini is a subsidiary of Toca Boca, the No.1 mobile-first kids brand in the App Store. Both companies are part of Spin Master, a leading global children’s entertainment company.

Core Values

We believe that laughter helps kids learn. That open-ended activities open doors and that the best things in life start with play.

Designed for the modern kid.

Each time we design a new product, we’re guided by these three questions.

  • Does it encourage kids to explore, imagine and discover?
  • Is it intuitive, beautiful and fun to play?
  • Does it meet our high standards of quality and safety?

Made with love in Toronto

From playtesting to idea jams, show and share to weekly team lunches, everything begins in our sunny Toronto studio.
