Here's Looking at You, Kid!

Check out our new website at www.bpbweekend.com!

Bespoke Bacchas


Frilly frocks and long socks get the boot as film stylist Sohaya and Renuka brings flower to the child with Baccha Party’s fluid skirts, halter tops and kurtas. To order, call 9820121632. For an organic fix, turn to Mitrah (at O.M.O, Bandra) who’ll tie and dye your kids in cool cottons. We heart their range of psychedelic bibs. Designs and price list available on their website.

Ready, Set, Dough

A set of two chocolate cupcakes, a jar full of icing and a fistful of rainbow sprinkles – these Ice your Own Cupcake kits originally designed for children are guaranteed to be a hit with grown ups as well. Babycakes’ new venture, these kits are the yummiest way to go back in time this Children’s Day. For Rs 80, to order (minimum of 6) call 9820120098.

Once Upon a Time…

At Indus – the Bookstore (Grand Hyatt, Kalina), kids get to star in their own happily ever after tales. Personalised story books allow them to play any character they want, from heroic kings and dainty princesses to mustachioed goons and wise fairy godmothers! And if Indus’ 100-odd story templates don’t work, you can get the completely customised ones too. For ages 5 to 10, start at Rs 300.

Sunday School

Get on a boat this Sunday, and you can help a child sail through school. Book a seat (Rs 3,000) on board Aquasail’s yacht, the proceeds of which will go towards Concern India’s education initiative for street kids. Call 9986781826 for details.
