Wonderbooks is a proudly South African brand and business that was founded in 2009 by Samira, just a year before the iconic 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.

Her inspiration for starting the company came from her own experience as a parent and aunt, as she struggled to find affordable children's books and educational toys and activities. She realized that there was a gap in the market for affordable yet high-quality educational products, and thus, the Wonderbooks brand was born.

Over the years, Wonderbooks has developed an extensive collection of children's books, educational aids, developmental products, arts and crafts, and wooden toys that have become customer favorites. Samira is qualified in Early Childhood Development and has over a decade of experience in the teaching field. We are delighted to select items that are best suited to a child's developmental needs.

At Wonderbooks, we take pride in being a South African brand and business.

We are dedicated to providing our customers with quality products at an affordable price, ensuring that children have access to the tools they need to learn and grow. So whether you're a parent, grandparent, teacher, or caregiver, we invite you to explore our collection of educational products and let us assist you in choosing items that will help your child reach their full potential.
