The Children's Pavilion- Bustling with colour and activity



The Children's Pavilion was the most colourful and vivacious corner of the book fair with thousands of books in varying shapes and sizes adorning the shelves of each stall. From comics to graphic novels to 3 D books to educational tools, the children's pavilion enchanted the little ones. 

At the pavilion, the activities organized through the day entailed meetings with authors, Maths workshops, poetry recitation. Katha organized a cartoon making workshop in which children were imparted tips on how to make their sketches attractive. Pratham Books organized a book reading session. They also organized a puppet show based on the story- 'Laddu ka Swaad' which tickled children's funny bones. Kartik Sharma from Eklavya recited fun limericks which the children recited after him.


Origami and craft workshops were also organized for children where they learnt the art of folding that lends itself to the construction of various items of great amusement and function. Children also entertained each other with performances like the one titled- 'Kitabein karti hain baatien' wherein each child adorned the role of a book and appealed to people to read them.
