It started with a nursery friendship.

We are Raneem & Sarah. Our story goes back to Doha in 2022, when our boys were just two and a half and going to the same nursery. Who would have thought a friendship between little boys would turn into a big idea?

After years of dreaming, researching and talking about doing something for kids, we found our little world: Shakhboota. A place for imagination to grow, one scribble at a time.

More than just Colouring...

  • Creativity & Self-Expression
  • Imagination & Storytelling
  • Hands-On Engagement
