Storytelling is an art. Long gone are the days when listening to new stories only meant the parent reading it out to the kid or the child having to read it themselves, without any other interaction or fun involved. Today narrating a story to a child has evolved into an art- where the narrator transports the listener, your child, into the world of the story through articulate communication, props, the right modulation etc.
If you want to raise a mini storyteller, bookmark this list of the best storytelling classes in Mumbai, that help explore your child’s creativity, and work magic on their communication skills. And don’t forget to share it with a fellow parent.
