The story behind KAHFOO

(Kids Are Having Fun Outside Often)

A family adventure

Like many uncles, I adore my nephew and niece. But when they were 4 and 7, I noticed that they were spending too much time locked up in their room, captivated by screens. Video games, tablets, cartoons...
Too many screens, too much virtual, too little fresh air and real adventures.

I wanted to offer them something different, something that would encourage them to open the door, go out into the garden and explore the world in a different way.
But how can we compete with the instant magic of a screen?

A passionate adventure

KAHFOO was born out of a simple wish:
to help children fall in love with nature again. As much as I do!

Our first product, a portable microscope, was designed to do just that — spark curiosity, slow things down, and turn ordinary moments into learning adventures.

No screens. Just leaves, bugs, rocks… and a world waiting to be explored.

That's how KAHFOO was born, with a clear mission:

Encouraging children to go out, discover and share their own stories.

A human adventure

At KAHFOO, we believe that it is essential to allow every child to live their dreams, so we support UNICEF association. With every purchase, 1% of the proceeds is donated to help make the dreams of sick children come true, by offering them precious and unforgettable moments.

By choosing KAHFOO, you too are taking part in this wonderful human adventure.

AN adventures adventure

Today, thanks to KAHFOO, my nephews (and hundreds of other children) explore, run around outside and always come back with smiles on their faces (and lots of memories to show off!)

And that's worth all the hours spent on this project!
