This summer, channel your child's innate curiosity into learning that stays- With Bina Bhansali and Make N Bake!

With this camp, every morning begins with a new question — what's inside a kangaroo's pouch? How do you paint like an octopus? What makes Mumbai, Mumbai? 

Over four weeks, children follow that curiosity through cooking, art, experiments, stories, and games — each day anchored to a theme that makes the answer worth finding. All of this with free-play time in the indoor space of Make n Bake featuring slides, bean bags, see-saws, and a mini roller coaster.

Week 1 — Into the Wild

Animals, a continent, a real kitchen, and the science of colour — week one covers a lot of ground.

• The animal world and Australia explored through video, cultural discovery, and a coral reef painting
• A first taste of cooking — real equipment, real ingredients, real results
• Colour science with a craft twist — something to take home at the end

Week 2 — Out & About (4-8May)

A week that steps outside, gets physical, and finds its way back to a plate of freshly assembled bhel.

• Nature walks and a living vs non-living discovery game bring the outdoors in
• Movement-led sessions with real sports equipment and plenty of friendly competition
• A Mumbai-inspired cooking session that ends with something delicious

Week 3 — Near & Far (11-15May)

Italy, the deep ocean, a hospital ward, and a tribal art form — contrasts that all connect through curiosity.

• World cultures explored through food — children cook their way through a country
• Art inspired by the ocean — including squirt painting with a syringe, just as an octopus would
• A deep dive into Indian folk art — its history, its shapes, and its rhythm

Week 4 — Rooted in India (18-22May)

Rooted in India — its celebrations, its icons, its national bird, and a gentle nudge to look after the world.

• Indian festivals, hands-on cooking, and a craft session where children stitch their own books
• The peacock takes centre stage — its dance, its feathers recreated in hand-mixed colours
• An Indian sporting icon, art with real flowers, and a story about the planet to close
