Life Changing Pictures

Finding Thabo is a cognitive stimulation game for young children based on the “Where’s Wally” look-seek-find concept.

Meet Thabo

Thabo’s name means joy.

Thabo’s name means joy.

He represents every child’s hopes and dreams, and is helping children across South Africa to develop their brains through interactive play-based activities.

Thabo is curious about the world around him, and is eager to learn new things. He spends just 10 minutes a day playing his favourite picture game – and his active young mind develops quickly because of this.

Mostly, you’ll find Thabo doing what he loves most…reading!

What’s in a game?

Finding Thabo is a play-based early learning development (ECD) programme for children aged 3-6 years. It takes the form of a cognitive stimulation game of discovery, where children look for objects in physical pictures. 

The specific objects and sequence of discovery have been carefully designed to provide high-quality stimulation activities that ignite young minds.
