For children who ask ‘why’? Tinga Tinga Tales has the answers. Why do elephants have trunks? Why don’t snakes have legs? Why do flamingos stand on one leg?
Inspired by African Folktale and the vibrant art of Tanzania, the Tinga Tinga Tales cards are inspiring, animated and awaken imaginations with its extraordinary world of colours, characters and learning.
The Tinga Tinga Tales cards reflect the eye-catching visuals, brightly coloured animals, elaborate use of patterns and intricate designs, from this naïve art form for children.
With famous voices such as comedian Lenny Henry and actress Penelope Keith on board the television show is already a hit.
The Tinga Tinga Tales cards are based on the illustrations by Kenya-based artists Homeboyz Animation, which are computer animated by the UK's Tiger Aspect Productions to create the show.
Tinga Tinga was brought to life by Eduard Saidi Tingatinga, over 40 years ago and has since become the most recognisable art form in Africa, and now this fantastic style can be shared in the form of Tinga Tinga Tales cards.
