Interactive Storytelling Sessions in Cubbon Park
Storytelling isn't about sitting still. At our weekly sessions in the park, we bring books to life through music, movement, and hands-on crafts designed for curious minds.
Pure, uninhibited joy! Children and adults hold hands and dance in a circle during our Mother's Day celebration. Movement and music are woven into our stories to make them truly interactive.

About Movement, Music, and Making Things
We don't just read stories, we move through them. When the books mention running or jumping, we follow suit, often using colorful scarves or rhythm drums to turn a reading into a full-body experience. It keeps the little ones engaged and makes the story part of their own play, ensuring the narrative sticks long after the session ends.
Movement is essential to how we tell stories. By incorporating songs, dance, and sensory props like play silks and hand drums, we help children physically embody the characters and emotions of the tales. It is rarely about sitting still for an hour; it is about participating in the narrative flow.
Why Movement Matters
Children learn best when they are active. By turning a reading session into an interactive performance, we help toddlers and young kids connect with the themes of friendship, nature, and culture. If a story is about being a lion, we roar. If it's about the wind, we use our scarves to create the breeze.
The 'Making' Part
After the reading, we transition into hands-on creativity. Whether it's paper folding, leaf art, or simple coloring, this segment helps ground the story's themes. It gives kids a chance to create a tangible takeaway that reminds them of the session.
The Nature of Outdoor Play
We believe the park is our best prop. From collecting fallen leaves for our art to running around when energy levels peak, we embrace the natural, often chaotic, rhythm of outdoor play. These sessions are perfect for families in Bengaluru who want a weekend activity that is engaging, educational, and genuinely fun. We invite you to join our circle, leave the screens behind, and enjoy a morning under the trees.

I'm Mallika, and I started this journey on a mat in the park with my son. I believe in keeping the joy of storytelling alive through movement, mess, and a little bit of magic, exactly the way childhood should be.
