Past Events

Natukali

Children enjoy watching cartoons and movies, but live drama is absolutely special. These plays are written with their age group in mind, bringing elements of their emotional world to life on stage. Music, role play, and dynamic performances help to tell stories that resonate with children, reaching them on a deeper level without their knowledge.

Hatanchi Jaadu

A workshop for children and adults that explores many activities such as paper, ceramics, painting, and scientific toys. These workshops allow children and parents to work together to make things. Not only is it enjoyable, but it also reminds us of the thrill of creating with our own hands

Palkanchi Shala

Parenting frequently raises many questions, and there is no manual to prepare us for it. Everyone wants to give their children the best, but what exactly does that mean? The School of Parents provides advise on crucial areas such as children’s studies, dealing with stubbornness, health, and controlling screen time, allowing parents to confidently handle these challenges. It’s a place where parents can learn how to raise happy, healthy children while also connecting with others who are on the same journey.

Carnival

Get ready for a day of fun and excitement at the Chikupiku Carnival—an event for the entire family, with children at the center of it all! Everyone will find something to enjoy, from Natukali performances, paintings, and pottery to hands-on workshops, toys, storytelling, and delectable food. This vibrant carnival, held each year in the first week of June before school begins, is the ideal way to make unforgettable experiences with your children.

Purpose

Through this initiative, the ChikuPiku foundation plans to give away books to children in bookshelves that can be hung around like a library in the classrooms.

Project

This initiative fosters a library-like atmosphere to encourage children to spend more time reading. The unique design of the bookshelf invites children to freely interact with storybooks attractively displayed on the wall, promoting shared reading and learning.
Around 20 schools in and around Pune are currently being targeted for this initiative.
