Since 2016 we have made toys for play, for memories, and for a childhood worth keeping. The name KIDAMI comes from Kid + Ami — French for friend. We are a friend to children and a guardian of their childhood. Toys Worth Keeping. Zinc-alloy. Hand-crafted. Built to last. KIDAMI — a friend to children since 2016.
Die-cast cars use a pull-back friction motor, so there are no batteries, no chargers, and no battery compartments. Magnetic boards fold flat and keep pieces in place on planes, trains and restaurant tables — screen-free travel play that actually survives the trip. Parents, grandparents and collectors use KIDAMI as birthday gifts, family-night games and first metal-car collections.

Frequently asked questions
What are the cars made of?
KIDAMI die-cast cars are crafted from high-quality zinc-alloy metal bodies, combined with durable, BPA-free plastic details. The paint is chip-resistant and designed to withstand everyday play, making them ideal for young collectors.
Do the cars need batteries?
No batteries are required. Every KIDAMI die-cast car uses a pull-back friction motor: pull the car backward, release, and it rolls forward. Play continues on trips and at home without chargers, and there is no battery compartment for small children to open.
How big are the die-cast cars?
Most cars are 1:64 scale — pocket-sized for small hands, gift boxes and travel bags. Exact measurements are listed on each product page and on the matching Amazon / Walmart listing.
Are the board games magnetic?
Yes. Travel games use magnetic pieces and folding boards so they stay in place on planes, trains and restaurant tables.
Do the board games fold?
Yes. KIDAMI magnetic boards fold flat so they slip into a backpack, carry-on or glove box. Combined with magnetic pieces that stay on the board, they are built for planes, trains, restaurants and hotel rooms.
What age are the toy cars for?
KIDAMI die-cast metal toy cars are designed for ages 3 and up. The scale, rounded edges and certified materials match preschool hands, while older kids still enjoy collecting, racing and pretend-play city scenes.
What age are the board games for?
Magnetic travel board games such as Ludo and Snakes & Ladders are designed for ages 6 and up. Rules stay simple enough for early readers, and adults can play along at family game night without a separate kids version.
Cars or board games as a first gift?
Ages 3–5: start with die-cast cars. Ages 6+: magnetic board games are great for travel and family nights.
