About

At Ourstoryshelf, I see stories as adventures waiting to happen. Kids don’t just listen - they jump right in. Each workshop is built around interactive story sessions for kids, making characters leap off the page and into our cozy library space.

How a Session Unfolds

• We kick off by gathering on mats and diving into a themed story - sometimes Gajapati Kulapati, sometimes The Singing Mermaid.
• Kids join the fun - roaring, singing, answering silly questions, even doing easy yoga moves or balancing acts linked to the story.
• After the story, it’s time for creative play activities for children: crafting, painting, sometimes even cooking or sensory play. Everyone goes home with something they made themselves.

What Makes Us Special

• Puppets, props, and story boxes add an extra spark. Sometimes we use shadow puppets or even Kamishibai (Japanese story box) - trust me, kids are always wide-eyed.
• The library’s informal, laid-back vibe means children (and parents, if they like) can relax and just be themselves.
• Story picks are never random; I choose tales that gently talk about friendship, kindness, emotions, and being yourself. Emotional development through stories is at the heart of what we do.

Quick Facts

• Best for ages 3 and up, with sessions lasting about an hour.
• Usually on Fridays, with occasional Saturday specials.
• Parents are always welcome to join the fun.
