Create your own forest

Dabble

So their children could have access to safe art products, Karen Saldanha and Neha Bajaj co-founded Dabble, a platform that makes toxin-free and child-friendly art material. The start-up was incubated in NSRCEL Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIMB) in 2019.

Apart from creating chemical-free colouring products, the platform also organises Dabble Playart workshops, wherein they create a space for kids to develop art without any set patterns or boundaries. In these workshops, kids can express their creative thoughts using colours. "Art is about playing with colours, and it helps young children to work on their individuality and prepare for a balanced and healthy development. ‘Free play is healthy play' - that's our motto for creating such sessions," explains Saldanha.

After organising several workshops in Bengaluru this will be their first event in Mumbai, and it will be themed around creating a magical forest. Meant for three to six-year-olds, it offers little minds a platform to freely create art using their imagination. This forest will come to life with the help of paints, glue, paper and handmade trees crafted by kids. In the next part of the workshop, they will use recyclable material to compose 3D birds after attending a short
brainstorming process.
