Christmas at AV and Kidwai

Did a couple of sessions for Christmas at Kidwai and at Anand Vidyalaya

Always a pleasure but the Kidwai kids this time were really young and we did not have a translator.

Hence focussed more on craft and  the smiles were worth it!

Christmas Gala at Home and at CC

Had wonderful sessions at my apartment and at Cavalry Cottage for bringing in the season

At Cavalry Cottage:

I was particularly excited about how the crafts turned out

Stories in the Park and a Church

100 hands Handmade Collective had a poetry theme this year and I had fun conducting sessions for the kids at St Andrews Church- a lovely venue.

Also had a huge & rapt audience at Cubbon Park Cubs of Cubbon by For Young India

Arts Tales at The Green Bazaar

Had fun at my first time at The Green Bazaar as a storyteller.

Also did a bunny upcycle craft from tissue rolls.

Very interactive bunch of kids!
