About Holiday & Themed Workshops
What I Do
Holidays and festivals aren't just dates to me - they're a reason to get together, laugh, and learn something new. My workshops are a break from boring routines - we make memories, not just crafts.
Festival Fun & Hands-On Traditions
Each festival gets its own spotlight. Whether it's Diwali, Christmas, Holi, or Ganesh Chaturthi, I bring out the colors, stories, and traditions with creative activities. Kids might be making paraben-free soaps, painting diyas, crafting a LEGO®️ Ganpati, or grooving to Dandiya beats. It's not textbook stuff - it's all about getting your hands into it and discovering what makes each holiday special.
Themed Workshops for Every Relationship
We celebrate more than just festivals. On Father's Day or Mother's Day, kids create DIY gifts like passport organizers or try Lippan art with their moms. Friendship Day? Pure Dhamaal (blast) with band making and games. For Children's Day, it's a mash-up - STEM, magic tricks, puppet making, all squeezed into one crazy fun session.
School Breaks = Camp Time
When school's out, our multi-activity camps kick in. From holiday STEM camps for children to art and public speaking, I keep boredom far away. There's also a wellness session with yoga, sound, and play, so kids get a bit of calm too.
Good to Know
- All materials included - forget the packing stress.
- Kids take home what they make - their own festival craft workshop trophies.
- Every session mixes art, games, and stories with a lesson tucked inside.
- Activities for ages 2.5 to 15, tailored for each group.
I love watching kids light up when they create and celebrate. Yeh journey hai mess se memories tak (It's a journey from mess to memories).

My Story
Hi, Ruchi here. Skillful Minds is my happy place since 2009. Used to teach art at BBPS, but wanted more for kids - not just textbook stuff. Seeing little stars perform in our theatre show or showing off their Mandala art, oh, it’s magic! Parents say their kids read better, speak with confidence now. We’re like one big family, sab ek saath (all together), growing every day. Every child leaves a mark, and that’s what keeps me going.
My Work
Activities for every child - We offer 30+ after-school activities, from kids theatre show to phonics reading program, art, abacus, chess, and more.
Creative birthday art party - We plan fun, budget-friendly art parties for all ages. Mandala painting, basket art, you name it!
Holistic child development - No boring rote learning. Kids build confidence, learn public speaking, and think creatively.
Toddler learning activities - Special programs for ages 2.5+, like phonics and play-based learning. Yahan bachhe khel khel mein seekhte hain (kids learn through play).
