STORY: A perfect getaway for Children’s Day
14 Nov 2016, 08:46 am
Kolkata, Nov 14 (NITN): For Children’s Day on Monday, STORY, Kolkata’s leading book and lifestyle store, is holding special programmes for children, including storytelling and fun activities.
“Children’s Day marks the birthday of India’s first prime minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, who was liked by children and lovingly called Chacha Nehru. So, on this day, we focus on allowing the children spend the day the best way they love.”
There will be special story telling sessions, where children will be encouraged to participate rather than listen passively, a store employee highlighted.
Fun activities will include drawing competition and other participatory events.
Besides, with an entire floor dedicated to children, STORY is the perfect place to pick up gifts for your children, from tiny tots to teenagers.
Books to stationery to art material to toys to chocolates, both your young ones and you will be spoiled for choice.
Along with your children, browse the well-stocked book shelves and even without realising it, you will find a special bond has grown between the two of you as you learn about your child’s favourite authors and books.
Books range from classics to modern authors, from children’s books to teenage fiction, from detective stories to sci-fi to encyclopedia, to name a few.
STORY has an excellent collection of art material to inspire the latent talent in your children. There are even specially shaped pastels so that the teeny weeny group can have a better grip while learning to colour.
The store also has a special corner, where you can sit down and browse through the library, strum a guitar or type a manuscript over the old-fashioned typewriter.
And if all that activity and knowledge gathering has made you hungry, STORY runs an excellent in-store café, where you can have a range of tea, coffee and delectable snacks.
Before you ask, STORY accepts plastic money. So you do not have tear your hair in case you have been felled by the demonetisation and are loath to stand in long queues at banks or ATMs.
