We do not just sit and listen to a book, we use our hands to weave, paint, and create, all while singing along to the narrative. It is an active, messy, and joyful way to connect with culture that keeps kids aged 4 to 10 fully engaged from start to finish. My goal with these sessions is to move away from passive reading. When I bring my original books, like 'The Naqqashi’s Papier Mache' or 'A Tale of the Pashmina Trail,' to venues like the CSMVS museum or local libraries, the focus is on a story-song-craft model. We start with the narrative, but quickly turn it into a performance. We sing the story, use instruments to find the beat, and get moving. This helps children grasp complex themes like the history of Kashmiri art or the journey of a Pashmina shawl not just as facts, but as experiences. After the performance, we dive into the craft station. Whether it is a bit of pattern painting or assembly, the goal is for every child to leave with a physical memento of the story. Parents, please come prepared to participate. This is not a drop-and-go activity; it is a space for you to sing, dance, and create alongside your child. My sessions are designed for small groups of 15 to 20, ensuring every child gets the attention they need to explore the craft activities safely and confidently. If you are hosting a private event, I bring everything required to turn your space into a creative hub. ## About The Musicircle I’m Priyanka, and I believe stories are meant to be felt, not just read. Whether I am at the BDL Museum or a private party, I bring books like 'The Naqqashi’s Papier Mache' to life with rhythm and hands-on crafts to help children truly connect with culture.
