Interactive Puppet Shows & Storytelling for Kids in Bengaluru
Welcome to my world of stories, puppets, and million dollar smiles. From interactive birthday shows to creative craft workshops, here is a glimpse into how I turn every event into a magical adventure. ❤️
This is the magic I live for. A room full of children completely captivated by a story, meeting one of my favorite puppet friends, the dragon. Every show is an adventure, and seeing their curious faces is my greatest reward.
Nothing makes me happier than hearing directly from the kids after a show. This video is a collection of their honest, unfiltered reviews. Their excitement and "million dollar smiles" are the reason I do what I do.
The pride on a child's face after they've created their very own puppet is just priceless. In our hands-on craft workshops, every child gets to design, build, and take home a new friend, like this amazing dragon puppet.
My workshops are full of energy and movement. Beyond the puppet show, we have a blast with interactive games like parachute play, which is perfect for outdoor birthday parties and gets everyone giggling and working together.
These are the "million dollar smiles" that have fueled Tickles & Tales for over 13 years. This collage is a beautiful reminder of the pure joy and laughter I get to share with children at every single event.
I believe storytelling is for everyone. It was a privilege to hold this craft workshop for children with autism. We created a calm, supportive space where they could explore their creativity making finger puppets and stick puppets.
It's not just the kids who get lost in the story. I love it when parents and teachers are just as engaged, sharing in the fun. This was a full house of over 150 families at a wonderful school event.
Meet some of my puppet friends. Each one has a unique personality and story to tell. These characters are the heart of my shows, helping to bring tales of adventure, friendship, and courage to life for the children.
A room buzzing with energy. After an exciting Kung Fu Panda themed puppet show, every child got to show off the 'Po' paper bag puppet they made themselves. It’s a complete experience of watching, creating, and playing.
Bringing fun to the workplace is always a special treat. I love performing at corporate family days, offering a unique way for employees and their children to connect and create happy memories together.
About Featured
When I set up for a show, I don't just stand on a stage. I bring the story to the floor, using parachute play and bubbles to turn the audience into active participants. You will see my professional puppet theatre, but the real magic happens when the kids start helping the dragon find his friends or dancing along to the music. It is messy, loud, and exactly how childhood should be.
For over 13 years, I have been traveling across Bengaluru to bring characters like the dragon and the little blue engine to life. This cluster showcases the variety of my work, from intimate birthday parties in living rooms to large-scale events for 150 families at schools.
Why my workshops are different
I design every session to be hands-on because I believe children learn best when they are doing, not just watching. Whether we are hosting a puppet-making craft workshop where every child builds their own character to take home, or engaging in high-energy parachute games, the goal is always the same: active participation.
Inclusive and heartfelt
I am deeply committed to making storytelling accessible to everyone. My work includes specialized, calm sessions for children with autism and outreach events at hospitals. I love creating safe, supportive spaces where every child feels seen and heard.
What you get
When you book a session, I arrive fully equipped. I bring the portable theatre, the sound system, the premium plush puppets, and all the craft supplies. You do not need to worry about the logistics; you just need to bring the kids. If you are a teacher, I also offer professional storytelling training to help you bring new life into your classroom. Let’s chat about how we can make your next event truly special. 🧿

I’m Aarti, and for the last 13 years, my life has been all about puppets and the smiles they bring. I don't just put on a show; I love creating a space where kids get to be part of the adventure, whether they’re making their own puppets or chasing bubbles in the garden.
