Interactive Storytelling Workshops for Kids
Help your child find their voice with our screen-free storytelling sessions in Vikhroli. We combine imaginative tales with hands-on art to build confidence and creativity in children aged 3 to 6.
Announcing our Storytelling Saturdays, a weekly 60-minute session designed for kids aged 3-6. We keep batches small to ensure every child gets personal attention as we explore a new story with art and movement activities.
A lively 'Roly Poly' warm-up during our 'Monkey Puzzle' story session. I use energetic activities like this to get the kids moving and fully engaged before we dive into the story with our puppet friends.
This video shows the complete structure of our storytelling sessions, using the book 'Angry Akku'. We start with prayer, move to vocal exercises, enjoy the story, and finish with a creative art project to explore our emotions.

I was delighted to host guest storyteller Devaki, who led a wonderful session on caring for our planet. Her animated telling of a story about ice cream and the environment had the children completely captivated.
About Interactive Storytelling for Little Ones
Every 60-minute session at our Vikhroli studio is split into two halves: 30 minutes of interactive story narration where puppets and expression take center stage, and 30 minutes of thematic DIY crafting. This structure helps kids move from active listening to artistic expression, ensuring they leave with a finished project and a new set of vocabulary words.
Why Storytelling Matters for Your Little One
For children aged 3 to 6, the world is a giant puzzle. Our storytelling sessions are designed to help them make sense of it through empathy, imagination, and play. We move beyond passive listening by using puppets, vocal exercises, and movement. If we are reading a story about being angry, we don't just talk about it, we act it out, helping kids identify and manage their own big emotions.
The Wondershop Method: Beyond the Book
We keep our batches small, typically 10 to 12 children, to ensure every child gets their turn to shine. Our 60-minute flow is carefully planned to keep little minds engaged:
- 30-Minute Story Circle: We sit on foam mats, using puppets and props to make stories like 'Angry Akku' or 'The Monkey Puzzle' come alive. Kids jump, act, and participate, not just watch.
- 30-Minute Creative Craft: Every session ends with a hands-on art project. Whether it’s painting colorful 'jalebis' or crafting paper puppets, this activity anchors the lesson from the story in something tangible.
Why Parents Choose Us in Vikhroli
Parents often tell us they are looking for a break from screen time. Our sessions provide that much-needed analog alternative. It is not just about entertainment; it is about building public speaking confidence without the pressure of performance. Your child will learn three new vocabulary words per session and take home a craft that they created themselves, fostering a sense of accomplishment.
We provide all standard-grade stationery—chart paper, glue, and colors—so you don't need to carry a thing. Just bring your little one, and we will take care of the creativity.
Wondershop
We are Wondershop, a space in Vikhroli where kids can get their hands messy and their imaginations wild. We believe creativity takes courage, and our sessions are all about helping children find that confidence through stories, art, and laughter.
