Long before nursery rhymes on YouTube became commonplace, this writer’s childhood storytime was peppered with Indian folk tales featuring talkative turtles, crafty cranes and vicious rakshasas, who always had a witty lesson or two up their sleeves. Summer vacations were dedicated to ludo contests, and regional folk music was the first pick for cultural performances. “Gone are the days when children spent their entire holidays playing simple traditional games and listening to folk tales,” points out Divya Balan, head-marketing, Founding Years Learning Solutions Pvt Ltd. In today’s age, when children are exposed to different international cultures, it is imperative for them to have a deeper understanding of their own country and state’s traditions, which can help them connect with their roots, she adds. Little Folk Festival, an initiative by KLAY Preschools and Daycare, aims to immerse young ones in all things folk.
