What is Tickleberry Place?

Tickleberries are imaginary and miniature creatures who spend their days helping each other and working with the land. They live in a “solar powered” world and have the utmost respect for the sun, and all things natural and organic. The sun powers everything for the Tickleberries.

Tickleberry Place is unknown to the outside world. It is filled with small farms, gardens, rolling grasslands and meadows. It has an abundance of trees and plants. Everything the sun touches in Tickleberry Place seems to have a little bit of magic, especially the plants. Through nature and the power of the sun, Tickleberries enjoy modern conveniences without the wires, pollution and other negatives associated with today’s technology.

Kato

Kato is shy and forgetful. Among his friends, he has the reputation of being the clumsy one. Lucky for Kato, his twin sister, Kina, is always close by to help him up, or out of any predicament. Kato has a vivid imagination and enjoys expressing it in various artistic formats.

Kina

Kato’s Twin Sister

Messy

Sensitive

Sassy

Kina is Kato’s twin sister. She is the silly one of the group and has enough sass for all of them. But don’t let her sassiness fool you, as she is super sensitive and over-the-top sympathetic. Her softer side comes in useful as she often helps Kato, her twin brother, pick himself up after one of his clumsy incidents. Kina is messy. No matter how hard she tries, she can’t help but make a mess.

Terry, Evie, Kato & Kina are Best Friends

This particular group of Tickleberry children loves to play. Every day they visit their secret playhouse where they are presented with new items to play with. Through simple story telling and songs, these four friends are introduced to ideas which build their emotional intelligence, self-awareness and social skills, while encouraging positive communication methods.

The lessons taught at Tickleberry Place promote more present, reflective and confident children.
