Boppo provides trusted and vetted content, developed and approved by our team of education and children's entertainment experts who come from brands like PBS and Nickelodeon. The Boppo tablet is a 2026 Mom's Choice award winner, and has become beloved by parents, kids, influencers, and even other toy brands in a short amount of time.
Founding Story
Hello! We’re Ben and Moline: parents, partners, and the co-creators of Boppo.
We built Boppo because we want our kids to have something they can enjoy over and over again throughout childhood, supporting them through learning and play. Ben started building Boppo back in 2019, after he noticed our one-year-old Ellis loved pushing buttons. Through the first version of this invention, Ellis learned his colors quickly, and Ben realized the opportunity for both education and play with a few light up buttons. We are truly passionate about making quality education accessible and fun, and providing a long-lasting, valuable experience with Boppo.
