A MESSAGE FROM OUR FOUNDER ON CORONAVIRUS COVID-19
Dear All,
We are all living in difficult times, on so many levels, around the globe. Our thoughts and hearts are with you all.
And it is this that has made us realize the power of today’s children, tomorrow’s responsible leaders, and why we must educate, inspire, and empower them to:
RESPECT everyone & everything, CONNECT & communicate with compassion, and PROTECT our world.
Share the PAPINEE Animals and WHIGZ™ with kids, take them on adventures of imagination that make them stronger and happier, engage in ‘Learn, Laugh and Love’ Storytelling with our tools and products.
We have a great deal of news to share and exciting updates coming, but for now, just wanted to tell you we are here for you and happy to help in any way we can.
Thank You, The PAPINEE Team

Educational storytelling kits for Children
GIVE A STORY, CHANGE A LIFE
You have the power to educate, inspire & empower your child, plus a child in need, through storytelling – a way to teach & play with love
PAPINEE creates Storytelling Kits to help you do this.
WHIGZ™ LEARNING
PAPINEE animals, stories and educational content are created using the WHIGZ learning system, which connects content to 5 major themes; World, History, Imagination, Geography and Zoology.
W: WORLD
From Strix’s adventures in London to the top of the Empire State Building with Odo the Deer from New York, children travel the whole world with the papinee animals. Through learning cultures and customs, PAPINEE gives children the world.
H: HISTORY
From Buckingham Palace, the home of the Queen, to Strix’s Tudor-era-inspired design, history is embodied in the characters’ design, persona, and adventure.
I: IMAGINATION
Through giving kids an outlet and the tools to create their own stories, PAPINEE encourages children to use their own imagination to dream, and broaden their horizons – empowering them to think differently about the world and everything around them.
G: GEOGRAPHY
From the grey London skies, to the heat of the Savannah, children learn geography as they travel through different cities and landscapes together with different PAPINEE animals.
Z: ZOOLOGY
Children learn the latin binomial names of animals through PAPINEE character names like ‘Strix Varia’, for Strix the Owl, and species-specific character traits, like how each animal lives and interacts with his/her habitat.

OUR STORY
WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO
WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO
PAPINEE was created to give all children the world.
It began with a mother whose ill health restricted her ability to travel, and so through storytelling, she transformed their living room into the Pyramids of Giza, the Savanna’s of Kenya, Mount Fuji, the Taj Mahal and beyond.
Her imagination opened up fantastical worlds, and through her interactive storytelling, she cultivated an appreciation and curiosity for culture, language, geography, and history.
Each Sunday she would take her son to visit the local children’s homes and orphanages where the mother would story-tell to the children who needed hope and love the most. Her warmth and creativity made each child feel loved and special, as she empowered and inspired them with ideas. She created a magical word, ‘Papinee’ which meant, ‘unconditional love’ and told each child ‘they were her Papinee’.
We believe storytelling can change the world. Make your story count, with PAPINEE.

BECOME A STORYTELLER
Join our community of Storytelling Volunteers & inspire children in need
PAPINEE strongly believes in giving it forward – we match every purchase of a Storytelling Kit with a donation of a Storytelling Inspire Kit to a child in need.
But it’s more than just donating supplies; PAPINEE has its own storytelling system, working with volunteer storytellers worldwide, training them and giving them the tools to educate, inspire and empower the kids that need it most.
We encourage all to volunteer: from families who have purchased their own PAPINEE Storytelling Kits to educators, corporates, students: we pledge to help you, help the world, through storytelling.
Where ever you are in the world, send us your story. Tell us where, with whom and why you want to run a volunteer storytelling event.
Everyone loves Papinee…
