About Kids' Workshops & Camps
Why Kids Love Our Workshops
I’m Neha, and at Bond Over Bindings (BOB), we let kids jump into stories, art, and ideas - not just read about them. Our space is super relaxed, and happiness always comes first. No boring lectures, just hands-on action.
What Happens at BOB
- Kids get to try everything: painting, making comics, building stomp rockets, crafting clay art, and even acting out stories.
- We mix up creative kids’ art workshops, STEAM summer camp for children, and bilingual storytelling sessions for kids.
- Children leave with something real - a piece of art, a comic, or a project they built themselves.
- Parent-child bonding workshops are part of the fun too. Sometimes it’s just the kids, sometimes you get in on the action.
“Kathegalu Majaa!” (Storytime Fun)
Stories are our jam. Sometimes in English, sometimes in Kannada. We run creative writing, comic book sessions, and phonics bootcamps - all about helping kids find their voice.
Summer Habba & Festival Themes
Our summer camps are like mini festivals. Each camp has a cool theme - world cultures, DIY fests, Makers STEM Labs, and more. We also throw special workshops for Diwali, Ganesha, Christmas, you name it.
All Ages Welcome
Workshops start for toddlers (10 months) and go up to teens (16 years). Everything is age-appropriate, and you never have to bring supplies.
Community Vibes
We work with artists, educators, and storytellers from around Bangalore. Every session feels fresh, real, and a bit unpredictable - just how kids like it.

My Story
Hey Bangalore! We’re Bond Over Bindings, but most folks just call us BOB. Started out wanting a spot where books meant more than just reading - we wanted bonding, messy hands, and giggles. Ever seen a kid’s face during a bilingual storytelling session? Pure magic. Our studio in Jakkur’s now buzzing with parents, kids, artists, and those who love learning through play. 125 workshops deep, and it’s still all about stories, art, and community. To more chaos, more creativity!
My Work
Children's books, workshops, and more - We’ve got new and pre-loved children’s books, plus art, STEM workshops for kids, book clubs, and birthday parties.
Our Space in Jakkur - Bright, cozy, and open Mon-Sat. Kids run wild, get creative, and just be themselves.
Learning by doing - Hands-on is our jam. Build stomp rockets, paint, mix up ‘Bram Bram Chok’ - learning’s always an adventure.
Bilingual Hearts - Namma Bengaluru! Loads of Kannada-English and Hindi-English bilingual storytelling sessions. Stories, language, and laughter.
Community and Collaboration - We team up with authors, artists, and educators for author meet-and-greet events and creative workshops. It’s always a mix!
