About
Bringing kids together to celebrate, learn, and just be themselves is what I love most. At The Reading Room, I try to keep things screen-free, mixing fun and learning, so bachche khelte khelte seekh jaate hain (kids pick up new things while playing).
Indian Festivals, The Playful Way
We go all out for festivals - not just with decorations, but with stories, crafts, and hands-on cultural workshops. For Dussehra, kids make their own bows and Ravan masks, take part in Ramleela, and even do a mini Ravan Dahan. Janmashtami has stories, Matka decoration, bansuri-making, and loads of dancing. Diwali means lighting diyas, Ganesh Chaturthi is all about getting creative.
Celebrations from Everywhere
We don’t just stick to Indian festivals. Christmas here is a whole month of writing to Santa, making ornaments, and learning about how others celebrate. Halloween is spooky stories, costumes, and crafts like ghost lollipops.
Parties with a Twist
Sometimes, we just celebrate for the fun of it – from Gol Gappa parties (can’t beat that chaat!) to pajama parties with torch-lit stories and games. Birthdays, author visits, or any random reason to bring a bunch of kids together.
What’s Always There
- Story-based learning sessions at every event
- Kids get messy and creative with crafts
- Dress-up, role play, and lots of games
- A chance for every child to make new friends
I’m not about perfect parties, I’m about memories that stick.
