Interactive Storytelling and Creative Workshops for Kids
We bring stories to life through movement, crafts, and sensory play. Join us at our Rustam Bagh library space to spark your child's imagination.
We love bringing stories to life with unique tools like this Kamishibai, a traditional Japanese story box. The children are always captivated as the pictures slide out to reveal the next part of the tale, making for a truly magical experience.
Our sessions are full of energy and movement. Here, we are all getting into character, acting out the story with sounds and actions that make the narrative an interactive adventure for everyone involved.
After the story, it's time for hands-on fun. This creative craft session shows children deeply focused on their dot painting activity, a wonderful way to develop fine motor skills and express their artistic ideas.
We believe in learning through play, and sometimes that means getting our hands dirty. Our outdoor mud play sessions are a favorite, allowing kids to connect with nature and explore their creativity in a fun, sensory-rich environment.
The joy on their faces says it all. Here, our little creators proudly show off the Christmas tree crafts they made after a festive story session, a wonderful memory and a handmade treasure to take home.
The lights go down for a shadow puppet show, creating an atmosphere of wonder and excitement. This classic storytelling technique sparks the imagination as characters appear and disappear in a dance of light and shadow.
Our workshops are a community affair where parents are always welcome to join the fun. This wide view shows the relaxed, cozy atmosphere of our library, with children and adults sharing the experience together.
Every child goes home with something they've made themselves. This close-up shows a cheerful paper flower, a tangible result of the craft activity that followed one of our nature-themed stories.

Listening to a story is an active experience here. This clip shows the children's wonderful, spontaneous reactions as they engage with the storyteller, ask questions, and share their thoughts on the tale.
About Featured
Every session at Ourstoryshelf follows a natural rhythm. We gather on the floor to bring tales to life with puppets and interactive dialogue, and we immediately follow that with a hands-on craft or sensory activity. This structure helps children process the story through creation, ensuring they go home with something tangible they built themselves.
Our workshops go beyond simple book reading. We want children to jump into the stories, roaring along with characters or balancing like they are in the tale. By using techniques like Kamishibai, a traditional Japanese story box, and shadow puppetry, we transform our library at The Green Pocket into a theater for the imagination.
The Workshop Experience
Every Friday, we host our standard storytelling and craft sessions. These hour-long gatherings start with a theme and move into movement-based activities—yoga, acting, or singing—before settling down for a craft. Whether we are painting, making paper puppets, or working with clay, the focus is on the process, not just the result.
For those who love getting dirty, our outdoor sessions feature sensory mud play. It is a chance for kids to connect with nature, dig in the garden, and use their hands to create, which we believe is essential for emotional and creative growth. We also hold extended workshops on weekends that include music and more elaborate sensory projects.
Why Parents Choose Us
We provide an informal environment where children feel comfortable enough to speak up, ask questions, and just be themselves. Our library space is designed for comfort, with floor seating on dhurries and a shoes-off policy. We believe that when children are relaxed, they are more open to learning about complex emotions like friendship, kindness, and honesty through the characters they meet in our books.
We welcome parents to join the circle. It is a community space for families to connect and share a quiet, creative hour away from the noise of the city.
