About this collection

Our Kamishibai theater acts as a stage where stories happen in real time, serving as the visual anchor for our sessions. We pair these dramatic displays with handmade puppets to keep children actively involved in the narrative arc. Every session is designed to encourage call-and-response participation, ensuring your child is a part of the storytelling process rather than a passive listener.

For children aged 3 to 10, sitting still is rarely the goal. Our workshops are built around this natural energy. By mixing Kamishibai, a portable Japanese paper theater, with puppetry, we create a sensory-rich environment that traditional reading simply cannot match. We rotate our themes, covering everything from classic Panchatantra tales to international folktales, ensuring that each visit offers a fresh perspective.

These workshops run for 60 to 90 minutes across various pop-up venues in Bangalore. Because we focus on interactive elements like rhythmic movement and character-based dialogue, even the most reserved children find a way to engage with the puppets. This approach helps boost vocabulary and spark creative thinking. Whether it is a story circle or a craft-integrated session, we prioritize the joy of learning over rigid instruction.
