The Gruffalo Play Date! Nature Play for 4-8YRS

Inspired by Julia Donaldson’s beloved tale The Gruffalo, this LooRoo play date invites children to step into the deep dark wood and journey alongside the clever little mouse and the curious forest creatures. Through storytelling, nature play, sensory exploration, and art, children will reimagine scenes from the story and bring them to life using natural materials. Expect earthy textures, flowers, leaves, clay, and endless imagination - the kind that sparks wonder and connection with nature. Rooted in open-ended, nature-led play, this session is a celebration of stories that grow with children - wild, whimsical, and full of heart.

Sangeetha Arjun is a nutritionist turned play-based educator who believes that the best learning happens through stories, nature, and sensory exploration. She began her journey at a riverside school in Goa, surrounded by coconut trees and children from across the world - reading by the sea, counting shells, and learning through play. Back in Bengaluru, she co-founded The LooRoo Club to bring that same joy and wonder into children’s lives. She now curates immersive, nature-inspired play experiences that celebrate curiosity, connection, and creativity.

Lakshmi Kaushik is an architect, artist, and storyteller whose designs are deeply rooted in nature and childhood wonder. Growing up close to the earth shaped her love for natural materials and open-ended exploration. Through her architecture practice and art, she brings these sensibilities into spaces that feel alive and meaningful. As co-founder of The LooRoo Club, she creates playful, sensory experiences that blend art, design, and the magic of the outdoors - inspiring children to see beauty in the everyday.
