About Encantos and Canticos Club
The Encantos app brings the storyverse to life and uses technology to help customize the experience so that our worlds grow as your children do. But just as learning shouldn’t stop in the classroom, storyteaching doesn’t stop with our app.
By fusing physical and digital experiences, we expand our storyworlds to meet kids where they are, with the kinds of tools they love. Animated series, books, songs, apps, games, puzzles, and other products encourage kids to continue learning through play, curiosity, and engagement.
Canticos Club, a collection of 10,000 unique NFTs, is Encanto’s first project in the metaverse.
