Little moments. Big stories. And a school bag that could be so much better. This one-day workshop pairs the storytelling world of Ruskin Bond with a hands-on design challenge — giving children an afternoon that's equal parts imaginative and inventive

Co-curated by Pages & Pals and The Innovation Champions' Club, this session brings together the magic of literature and the thrill of invention — children leave with a story in their heart, a redesigned school bag, and a special book goodie bag in hand.

What Children Do Here
Little Moments, Big Stories
Inspired by the gentle magic of Ruskin Bond — finding the extraordinary hiding inside everyday moments.

• A reading and storytelling session that explores how ordinary life becomes remarkable on the page
• Children discover their own story waiting in the small, everyday moments around them

Reimagine a School Bag
Every child has carried a school bag — but has anyone asked them what's wrong with it?

• Children step into the role of young innovators, identifying problems and designing creative solutions
• A hands-on design challenge that builds thoughtful, independent thinking

What your child takes-away:

• A story of their own — inspired by everyday life
• An introduction to design thinking and innovation
• Confidence in creative and independent expression
• A special book goodie bag to go home with
